Collaborating across local and global contexts: Realities, challenges, and opportunities

In an increasingly interconnected world, the interplay between local contexts and global agendas profoundly shapes approaches to systems change. Balancing these dimensions requires addressing unique challenges, from cultural nuances to the scalability of solutions.

On January 23, join members of the Knowing-Doing Network from around the world as they explore how they collaborate, learn, and interpret the terms “local” and “global” while exchanging knowledge, insights, and practice across diverse contexts. They will share how these relationships underpin education systems transformation efforts and shape strategies for achieving impact at scale. Panelists will also examine power dynamics, notions of inclusion and exclusion, and reflect on why this is a critical moment for a conversation on local and global collaboration in transforming education systems.

Viewers can submit questions by emailing [email protected] or via X/Twitter @BrookingsGlobal using #KnowingDoing.

This event is part of the five-part series Collaboration Conversations on power, localization, and education systems transformation.
