For more than two decades, the Center for Universal Education (CUE) at the Brookings Institution has worked with partners across the globe to advance education policy and practice, by supporting locally driven knowledge creation, promoting research-to-action pathways, and catalyzing systems transformation. This work has reinforced a hopeful insight: When research is shared, power is distributed, and learning is collective, more relevant and lasting change is possible.
Through this series of events, which will feature panels, interactive workshops, and ample networking time, CUE seeks to explore a shared question: What do young people need to thrive, and how can education ecosystems better support this?
The Global Symposium Series 2026 will convene diverse actors across North America, Latin America, Asia, and Africa. These events build on the collaborative work of the Knowing Doing Network (KDN) and are co-hosted by An Giang University, the Center for Universal Education at Brookings, EducAid Sierra Leone, Educación para Compartir, Society for Access to Quality Education (SAQE), Vozes da Educação, and Ziziafrique.
