On line forum

What is it all about?

The Schoolconsem Online Forum is meant for you to share your ideas and experiences concerning the planning, design, realisation, management and maintenance of physical educational facilities in your community and/or country with us at UNESCO and other people all around the world. You can also raise questions with regards to these issues and get answers online through other Forum members.

The forum is a continuation of an earlier initiative taken for SCHOOLCONSEM IV, which was a regional consultation on educational facilities in sub-Saharan Africa, held at UNESCO in Dakar, Senegal, in February 2001. There are six debates in which you can take part. Please, feel free to express your ideas and experiences or pose your questions.

The debates focus on the impact of globalisation and poverty; on schools and education; how we can keep our schools safe, healthy and environmentally friendly and sustainable places. Also, how new learning systems and approaches can change the way we plan, design, build and make use of learning spaces and environments.

Debate 1 - Educational facilities, Poverty, Development & Globalisation
   
Debate 2 - Educational facilities, Technology & Better Environments
   
Debate 3 - Educational facilities, Ownership, Decentralisation & Sustainability
   
Debate 4 - Educational facilities, Climatic/Cultural Context & Resource Persons
   
Debate 5 - Educational facilities, Guidelines, Training Modules & Indicators
