The event will feature leading scholars from around the world, including Farina Costanza, director of UNESCO-IBE; Hans de Wit, Center for International Higher Education, Boston College, United States; Miri Yemini, Israel Institute of Technology; Yusef Waghid, Stellenbosch University, South Africa; Yoko Mochizuki, Education University of Hong Kong, China; Aryn Baxter, Colorado State University, United States; Emiliano T. Bosio, Ph.D., Tokyo University, Japan; and The University of New Mexico's Matt Witenstein, an associate professor in the Educational Leadership Program in the Department of Teacher Education in the College of Education and Human Sciences.

Together, they will explore how global citizenship education can cultivate ethical values; foster social justice, inclusion and equity; and promote critical, transformative and decolonial pedagogies in an interconnected yet unequal world.
