Session Overview: Minimum Standards Next Steps

INEE Minimum Standards: What are the next steps?


Global Consultation 2009, Istanbul

Thursday 2 April 9:00-13:00, Concurrent Working Session Block 5

Abstract

This session will engage participants in a discussion on the future of the INEE Minimum Standards. In particular, it will address the proposed update of the content and format of the INEE Minimum Standards handbook and next steps for supporting their use by various stakeholders and varying contexts.

Following a presentation of the feedback and analysis on the update and application of the INEE Minimum Standards, participants will split into two subgroups. One sub-group will work on the update of the handbook paying particular attention on strengthening the cross-cutting issues of gender, adolescents and youth, and disaster risk reduction.

The second sub-group will discuss next steps in supporting the concrete application of the standards – utilization, capacity building and institutionalization. This sub-group will begin to develop tools or plans that help address one or two specific recommendations made in the presentation.

Each sub-group will be expected to produce specific recommendations on the way forward, which will be shared back in plenary to ensure linkages. If you are interested in the use of the minimum standards, have responsibility within your organization for ensuring their use, or simply have expertise in an issue that needs strengthening in the handbook, please come to share your thoughts and help shape the future of the INEE Minimum Standards!
