These challenges have had a particular impact on refugees. While many countries in the global North were able to pivot to remote learning in the midst of pandemic lockdowns, many refugee-hosting countries in the global South were not able to extend such opportunities due to limited resources and technical infrastructure. The result was a significant interruption to learning. Even when distance education is available to the host community, refugees and other forcibly displaced students have been frequently excluded from such learning opportunities due to their legal status, combined with a lack of access to technology and the infrastructure necessary for active participation in distance learning. The consequences of this exclusion compound inequalities and threaten to have long-lasting consequences for livelihoods, inclusion and the pursuit of solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the findings of a recent report \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/lebanesestudies.com\/education-under-covid-19-lockdown-reflections-from-teachers-students-parents\/\">Education under COVID-19 Lockdown<\/a>\u201d by LERRN partners at the Centre for Lebanese Studies, this webinar will draw on the perspectives of researchers and innovators in the Middle East and East Africa to consider how local responses can be mobilized in response to the impact of COVID-19 on refugee education, and what lessons can be drawn from this experience to better inform global discussion on the enhancement of refugee education.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"\">\n\t<p>\n\t\t<a class=\"button__red button__red--solid\" href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/learn-with-lerrn\/webinars\/#webinar-19-nov-2020\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Video recording &amp; post-webinar report<\/a>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<h3>Moderators:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Barbara Shenstone<\/strong>, Regional Director for Middle East North Africa (IDRC)<\/li>\n<li><strong>James Milner<\/strong>, Director, Local Engagement Refugee Research Network (LERRN)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Panelists:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/abdullahi-mire-68185a54\/\"><strong>Abdullahi Mire<\/strong><\/a>, Journalist and Education Activist based in Dadaab, Kenya<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jennifer-roberts-5045b639\/\"><strong>Jennifer Roberts<\/strong><\/a>, Senior Education Officer (Emergencies) at UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/marwan-tarazi-5219ba20\/\"><strong>Marwan Tarazi<\/strong><\/a>, Director of the Center for Continuing Education at Birzeit University<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/evelyn-jepkemei-phd-m-ed-87282a29\/\"><strong>Evelyn Jepkemei<\/strong><\/a>, Regional Education Advisor, World University Service of Canada (WUSC) based in Nairobi, Kenya<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/iris.ucl.ac.uk\/iris\/browse\/profile?upi=EPEVS62\"><strong>Elaine Chase<\/strong><\/a>, Associate Professor in Education, Health Promotion and International Development at UCL Institute of Education<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/lebanesestudies.com\/members\/dr-mai-abu-moghli\/\"><strong>Mai Abu Moghli<\/strong><\/a>, Senior Researcher at the Centre for Lebanese Studies and a Research Associate at RELIEF Centre-University College London<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is the second in a series of webinars co-hosted by LERRN and IDRC.
