This International Women's Day, let's commit to inclusivity and gender equality in environmental advocacy. Given the urgency and complexity of the climate crisis, it has become imperative for educational institutions to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to become effective leaders and advocates for environmental sustainability.

February 11 is International Day of Women and Girls in Science 👩🔬 In honor of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we highlight the BESE Division's commitment to gender equity. With women making up 22% of the faculty and 62% of the student body, and nearly half of our female graduates pursuing their careers within Saudi Arabia, BESE is at the forefront of empowering women in science. Many of those bright minds are part of KAUST Smart-Health Initiative. Explore how KAUST is leading the way in gender diversity and inspiring future female scientists >> https://lnkd.in/eWPQUxyu

#WarcGrantFlashNews PRIORITY SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH GRANTS GRANT FUNDING GUIDELINES The second grant program to be launched as part of the ‘Boosting Social Sciences and their Contribution to Better Lives across the Indo-Pacific’ project is the Priority Research Grant Program. The objective of the Association of Asian Social Science Research Council (AASSREC)’s Priority Social Science Research Grant Program is to fund and support international collaboration between social science researchers in the Indo-Pacific region to carry out and disseminate high-quality research on complex socio-economic problems of mutual interest. This program is designed to support research activities involving researchers from at least two countries in the Asia Pacific region working together on a social science research project. The proposal may include: • Activities to support collaboration in an ongoing research project, where such activities are not possible with existing funding (details of the project and existing funding must be provided) • Activities that help to develop or pilot a new collaborative research project. Priority Themes 1. Advancing Gender Equality 2. Sustainability and Climate Change 3. State and Social Transformations 4. Indigenous knowledge systems 5. Intergenerational inequality Grants available through this program are for a maximum of $57,750 (AUD). Funding is available to support activities within a 12-month timeframe, to be undertaken between 1 November 2024 and 31 December 2025 https://lnkd.in/gjnXFBrg #PusatpusatStudi #grant#Universitaswarmadewa #InternationalDevelopment #ClimateChange #CCC #CID #internationaldevelopment #climatechange #pusatpusatstudi #indonesia #bali #asean

Our MA follows the logic of project/problem-based learning. We welcome students who have previously studied or worked in the fields of media, technology, culture, or social studies. This year, our students at @tallinnuniversity will use design thinking to create media solutions that contribute to achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goals: ✅ No Poverty ✅ Zero Hunger ✅ Good Health and Well-being ✅ Quality Education ✅ Gender Equality ✅ Clean Water and Sanitation ✅ Affordable and Clean Energy ✅ Decent Work and Economic Growth ✅ Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure ✅ Reduced Inequality ✅ Sustainable Cities and Communities ✅ Responsible Consumption and Production ✅ Climate Action ✅ Life Below Water ✅ Life on Land ✅ Peace and Justice Strong Institutions ✅ Partnerships to achieve the Goals Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gKjb6CPy #mediastudies #studyinestonia #studyineurope #sustainabledevelopment #SDG #sustainabledevelopmentgoals

Global Education Policies and Their Impact on Peace and Security Global education policies, such as the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), play a crucial role in promoting peace, security, and economic development. The SDGs emphasize inclusive and equitable quality education for all, recognizing education as a fundamental human right and a key driver of development. Policies that promote access to education, gender equality, and lifelong learning opportunities help build more resilient and peaceful societies. By investing in education, countries can address root causes of conflict, reduce poverty, and create conditions for sustainable economic growth. Global cooperation and commitment to education are thus essential for achieving a more peaceful and prosperous world.

As we engage with the theme "Empowering the Future: Innovative Education for Sustainable Development in Southern Africa," I am committed to steering the discourse toward the critical role of addressing gender gaps in education. Bridging these gaps is essential for cultivating an African society that is equipped to thrive in the 21st century. In this pivotal year dedicated to education, let us recognize that promoting gender equity is not merely a matter of fairness, but a foundational element in building a sustainable and prosperous future for all. Together, we can harness innovative educational strategies to ensure that every individual, regardless of gender, has the opportunity to contribute to and benefit from our collective progress. #6thSouthernAfricaYouthForum #SouthernAfricaYouth

World Literacy Day, also known as International Literacy Day, is observed every year on 8th September. Established by UNESCO in 1967, it aims to raise awareness about the importance of literacy as a fundamental human right and to promote global efforts to improve literacy rates. Literacy is not only crucial for individual empowerment but also plays a key role in social, economic, and cultural development. The main objective of World Literacy Day is to highlight the significance of literacy in building more inclusive and sustainable societies. It also serves as a reminder of the ongoing need to tackle literacy challenges faced by millions of people worldwide, particularly in developing countries and marginalised communities. Literacy is a critical tool in the fight against poverty, the promotion of gender equality, and the improvement of overall quality of life. Each year, UNESCO selects a theme for World Literacy Day, focusing on key issues such as digital literacy, literacy during times of crisis, or literacy as a means of empowerment. The theme for 2024 is " History " #worldliteracy #WorldLiteracyDay #literacy #readmore #readmorebooks #knowledge

🌟 Celebrating #InternationalWomensDay: Empowering Women in STEM and Energy! 💪 On this International Women's Day, let's acknowledge that energy access is undeniably a gendered issue. The just and equitable energy transition cannot be achieved and sustained without ensuring gender equality. In fact, worldwide, women and girls disproportionately bear the burden of the every-day consequences of energy poverty. At EM-ONE, we're proud to take a stand in support of women aspiring to make their mark in the energy industry. Our traineeship programs like the Graduate Engineering Program in Nigeria and the STEM Traineeship Program in Sierra Leone in partnership with Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL), provide them with hands-on technical training, opening doors to enter and progress in the energy sector, as well as making a lasting positive impact working on meaningful projects. Bridging the energy gap and accelerating the clean energy transition is a collective responsibility. Historically, STEM roles have been predominantly male, and it's time to change that narrative. We're committed to ensuring that women's voices are not just acknowledged but amplified as we strive for a more inclusive and sustainable energy future. 💡💚 #WomeninEnergy #WomenInClimate #IWD2024 #WomensDay #Energy #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #GenderEquality
