OECD Education & Skills Webinar - The power of peer-learning across borders: Lessons from Ukraine

How can schools around the world meaningfully support Ukraine as it transforms its education system? Even in the face of Russia’s war of aggression, Ukraine continues to modernise teaching and learning across the country. This inspiring transformation is taking place with the support of international schools, who have partnered with the OECD to collaborate directly with Ukrainian teachers.

Should peer-learning across borders become more of a norm? In this webinar, experts will discuss how partnerships and collaboration have led to the sharing of expertise and classroom strategies across national boundaries – helping to co-create new knowledge for all schools on key topics such as social-emotional learning and careers guidance. As this work enters a new phase, this webinar will highlight lessons learned and how schools can engage in this important cross-country work between practitioners.

Speakers include:

• Andreas Schleicher, OECD Director for Education and Skills
  Svitlana Beleichuk, English teacher, Lyceum №241 “Holosiivskyi” in Kyiv, Ukraine
• Matthew Shanks, Trust Lead, Education South West, England
• Birger Hahn, Senior Teacher, Johanneum Gymnasium in Herborn, Germany

Moderated by Lawrence Houldsworth, Policy Analyst, Directorate of Education and Skills, OECD
