Refugee REACH founder and director Sarah Dryden-Peterson of HGSE participated in the Curriculum Reform Conference 2021, which took place January 29-30 and February 05, 2021. This year’s theme was Rethinking the Curriculum in Lebanon and the Arab World: Reconciliating Ideologies and Pedagogies.
The conference sought to unpack existing ideologies that inform current education policies in the Arab world, and engage in a dialogue around the various philosophies that are driving curriculum reforms.
