Report from the CSW Consultation Day

We are happy to share a final report from the CSW Consultation Day, which was compiled by graduate students from Comparative and International Education Program, College of Education, Lehigh University. Please feel free to share the report with others!

This report was produced during the Comparative and International Education (CIE) 405 graduate course: "Experiencing the United Nations: NGOs in Education Policy and Practice," taught by Professor Iveta Silova in cooperation with Bill Hunter and Michelle Vella at the College of Education, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA. Students attended the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) NGO Consultation Day on February 21st and served as volunteer rapporteurs. Building on the Lehigh University/United Nations (LU/UN) partnership initiative, the course focused on a structured practical experience for students to learn about the dynamics of NGO/UN relationships in international education development. The course was organized around the 55th session of the CSW. The views expressed in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official position of CSW NGO Committee.
