Students from regions in crisis need international educators' understanding and flexibility as they enter new countries and new systems of education and employment. Presenters discuss how these students' educations are affected when they start studying in a new country and the challenges they face as displaced students. The conversation focuses on students from Afghanistan and Palestine.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn how education can be impacted in conflict countries and how that can affect students at home and abroad.
  • Understand how current crises in Palestine and Afghanistan are impacting education.
  • Develop strategies for engagement and the role partners can play in enhancing students' educational experiences.
