The Global Classroom is one of the flagship activities of the Global Campus designed to bring together students, professors and experts from the regions of the university programmes involved for a week-long conference, where a topic of current interest for all the regions involved is studied, analysed and discussed through the lenses of different regional perspectives. The uniqueness of this annual event lies in the possibility to deepen the understanding of global human rights challenges and foster inter-regional academic exchange and collaboration.
Due to the current situation after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic the Global Classroom will take place online, which will however allow the participation of a broader audience and panelists from all around the globe.
The Global Classroom 2020 will revolve around the UN Global Study on Children Deprived of Liberty, which was successfully presented in Geneva on 19 November 2019. The focus of this year’s Global Classroom is therefore to map global trends in children’s deprivation of liberty by looking at the use of detention of children in different settings in the various regions as well as identifying key challenges and the implementation of the recommendations of this Global Study.
