Workshop F – EDUCATION UNIONS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY Moderator: Mr. David Edwards, Deputy General Secretary, Education International Round Table 20: Establishing Partnerships Education unions should create awareness among their membership of the education dimension of the refugee crisis and of the responsibility of the teaching profession to deliver quality education to all refugee children and youth. They should advocate for measures enabling school systems to welcome and integrate refugee children and youth, and promote relevant teachers’ training programmes. They should work together with the public authorities, the trade union movement and civil society organisations, both at local and national levels. Partnerships should be established with associations of parents and students.  Should education unions bring together or establish networks of their members who are teaching refugees?  How could partnerships with parents and students' organisations help enhance the accessibility of refugee children and youth to quality education? Round Table 21: Sustainable Development Goals  What initiatives can Education Unions and their members take to advance the Sustainable Development Goals Round Table 22: Supporting the Global Teachers’ Networks Quality education and high professional standards require an ongoing discussion among education unions and their members. Education International will launch a virtual multilingual platform enabling education unions and their members to exchange information and experiences, engage in a global discussion on the future of the profession, TEN Global will be a “network of networks” bringing together existing networks, including EI, iEARN, ASCD, ITEN, CTQ, Ashoka, and many others, into one “metanetwork”. The roundtable will address ways education unions and their members can get involved into TEN Global.  How to facilitate an ongoing international conversation between educators to help ensure the delivery of quality education to all forcibly displaced children and young people
