Aurora Dialogues: Humanitarianism in Education Conference

Humanitarianism in Education Conference will focus on the role education plays in shaping socially responsible individuals. The Conference will start with the Young Aurora Final Projects Presentations and will be followed by Aurora Dialogues.

Young Aurora is a partnership between the Aurora Humanitarian Initiative, United World Colleges (UWC), Scholae Mundi and Teach for All. It provides an opportunity for UWC schools and colleges to design projects that will drive positive change in the community through humanitarian solutions. The winning team will be awarded a $4,000 grant to implement their project. Now in its third year, 17 schools and colleges have participated in the Young Aurora Project to date.

Young Aurora finalist projects presentations:

• Pearson College UWC: Precious Plastics
• UWC East Africa: Smokeless Kitchens
• UWC Atlantic College: Young Voices

 

Aurora Dialogues aim to shine a light on the people working to address today’s global humanitarian challenges in a real and substantial manner and identify ideas that will deliver tangible change. Now in their fourth year, the Dialogues are hosted around the world. This year, the Dialogues in Dilijan will focus on the importance of education in creating future humanitarians.
