Annual Conferences

Mens sana in corpore sano — a healthy mind in a healthy body. Healthy children learn better, and strong education systems, in turn, build healthier societies. Together with Be-cause health, this Educaid.be International Conference aims to explore the strong and complex links between health and education in today’s polycrisis context. It focuses on the mutual influence between these two sectors, with particular attention given to low- and middle-income countries.

Through two provocative keynote speakers, an expert panel, and roundtables that zoom in on concrete cases, the Educaid.be International Conference 2023 aims to contribute to the understanding of how and under what conditions education contributes to access to decent work in the low-and-middle income countries; what the perspectives, strategies and approaches are for achieving it; and what good and inspirational practices are in place.

In the lead up to the Worlds Teachers’ Day 2021, we launch a 4-day conference on the crucial role of all #EducationHeroes in the recovery phase post-COVID-19. The 2021 Educaid.be digital conference aims to contribute to the understanding of what resilient education systems really stand for; what the barriers are to support, to protect and to appreciate the key role education actors play in our societies; what the perspectives, strategies and approaches are for achieving more resilient education systems;  and what good and inspirational practices are available.
