UNESCO MGIEP's Annual Report 2020
2020 was indeed a very tough year for all of us. People across the globe were forced into the new normal: lockdowns, shutdowns, and travel bans. Families were separated. Millions fell sick and so many lives were lost. More than 1 billion children were affected by school closures. At UNESCO MGIEP, we analysed the impact of COVID-19 on our programs and pivoted our strategy to ensure that we continued to engage with educators, policymakers and the youth through various online initiatives to build a better, sustainable world for times to come.
