June Convening
The Education Collaborative June Convening is the central platform for all stakeholders in African higher-ed to share innovative resources and strategies for the sector’s advancement. Held annually in June at Ashesi University, the week-long event harnesses the collective expertise of institutions and educators on ways to create educational systems that support the development agenda of the continent.

We are excited for another year of The Education Collaborative’s June Convening. At this year’s Convening, we will be consolidating learnings as we mark the climax to our three-year running theme, “Building the capacity of institutions to improve African higher-ed outcomes.”
From the 13-16 June, participants will engage with one another through plenary sessions, workshops and discussions focused on faculty development, entrepreneurship, employability, ethics and leadership within African HEIs.
