The Education Subcommittee works to equip members with the essential knowledge and resources needed to conduct impactful work. By organizing education sessions led by multi-stakeholder experts on a variety of topics, the subcommittee provides key insights on global social development issues, UN processes and rhetoric, and advocacy strategies. This creates a space for members to reflect on the realities of the poorest and most marginalized communities our NGO Committee represents at the United Nations, and better understand the actions needed to address the root causes of their vulnerabilities worldwide. Education sessions are facilitated either by external guests or by members of the Executive Committee, and cover topics such as: child poverty, right to participation, human rights approach to poverty eradication, financing for development, etc.
