Building Democratic Resilience: Exploring the Nexus of Higher Education, Civil Society, and Conflict in Ukraine

Roundtable
Hewko Rotary event
Tuesday, April 16, 2024, 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm

Join us for a roundtable discussion hosted by CEU's Department of International Relations and Invisible University for Ukraine, featuring esteemed guest speaker John Hewko, General Secretary and CEO of Rotary International.

During this special event, we seek to understand the interplay between higher education and civil society amidst conflict in Ukraine. Together, we’ll explore the impact of international actors and externally funded educational initiatives, asking questions such as: how can international organizations support democratic resilience through education in conflict-affected regions? What ethical considerations should guide external funding for education during times of conflict? And, how do educational programs impact the strength of civil society amidst conflict?

Together, we'll explore these critical questions and more, aiming to understand the dynamics shaping democratic resilience in Ukraine.
