Educational Digital Divide: How to Reach 1.6 Billion Students Left Behind
The numbers are staggering: 1.6 billion students faced learning disruptions as a result of COVID-19 – and half of those did not have access to a computer at home. Without digital access, use, and fluency, students are excluded from access to economic opportunity, education, healthcare and experience worsening discrimination and social isolation. New research shows these effects are lifelong, affecting not just the student but their families’ and communities’ ability to build strong economic futures. Not all interventions are created equal. What do we know about what works – and what doesn’t – for closing the generational digital divide? How can we build robust cohorts of young people skilled in digital literacy and with access to job pathways? What are effective models of closing the “last mile” access gap for educators and students? On 26 July 2023, join us for a conversation showcasing organizations around the world which have been working in their communities to close the generational digital divide, do it equitably, and build solutions that work so youth can use technology to achieve their dreams.Time:- Tags

Asia’s First-Ever Fintech Conference Focus on AI & Cybersecurity
Buildings are responsible for almost 40% of the world’s direct greenhouse gas emissions. But what do we mean when we say ‘decarbonising buildings’, and why is it important?
The countdown has begun for governments to reduce their climate impact, and as urgency rises, those who manage built environments are being called on to take action.
The panel of experts in this workshop will include Emma Loewen, Manager, Urban Planning at RMI, and Jenn Hatch, Chief of Green Building & Climate at the Department of Energy and Environment, and Aaron Barter, Director of Innovation and Sustainability at Waterfront Toronto.
This online session is set to deliver actionable takeaways and valuable insights on where reducing emissions through building stock comes into public service, with real-life examples.
This workshop will be recorded
