Workshop South-South University Cooperation Network
6 September 2024 hora: 9:00 am - 10:30 am
The International Conference & POP Festival for Youth-Led Climate Action 2024 seeks to highlight the importance of climate leadership, sharing indigenous knowledge and experiences, and engaging stakeholders in a collective effort to promote an inclusive and innovative climate movement. This movement will be rooted in the values of human fraternity, love, and compassion, celebrating unity and peace through meaningful actions.
The conference’s mission aligns with the commitments of UNESCO IESALC, leveraging the power of higher education, advocating for youth & student-led climate action on both local and global scales, fostering collaboration across different sectors, and promoting unity through concrete steps towards sustainability and a greener future for all.
UNESCO IESALC is designing a workshop on South-South cooperation, increasingly recognized as a crucial framework for promoting sustainable development and addressing shared challenges among countries in the Global South. By fostering mutual support and collaboration, nations can capitalize on their collective strengths, share valuable experiences, and pool resources to combat issues such as poverty, inequality, and educational disparities.
The South-South University Cooperation Network (SUCN )—an initiative by UNESCO IESALC and UNOSSC—aims to strengthen international collaboration among universities in the Global South, thereby enhancing educational opportunities for young people. Founded on principles of multilateralism, open science, and sustainability, the network focuses on capacity building through training programs and knowledge exchange. It advocates for policies that address the unique challenges faced by member institutions and promotes collaborative research to tackle both regional and global issues. The network also prioritizes technology and innovation transfer, resource sharing, and the establishment of partnerships to facilitate networking and funding opportunities. By empowering Global South universities through mentorship and capacity-building initiatives, it aspires to create a more equitable and inclusive educational landscape in the Global South.
