The Global Learning Symposium is a biennial event held by the Global Working Group to End School-Related Gender-Based Violence, with support from UNESCO and UNGEI. The purpose of the meeting is to provide a platform for capacity development through knowledge and learning exchange between a diversity of partners representing government, civil society, donors, UN agencies, research institutions and education unions.

The symposium will bring together practitioners, policy makers and researchers to engage in meaningful dialogue about contextually relevant solutions to end SRGBV. The symposium will provide an opportunity for representatives from Ministries of Education to showcase efforts to address SRGBV and share learning from national governments, CSOs, donors, unionists and academia.
Through group and plenary activities, some of the topics that the symposium will explore:
1. Working with teachers
2. Shifting gender norms, behaviours and practice
3. Whole school approaches
4. Integrating SRGBV prevention in the education system (including policy, planning and implementation)
5. Data, monitoring and measurement

Local: East Africa (City to be determined)
