Education in Emergencies Sharing Group

Curricula & convenings · Education Reform Initiative · 2023

A responsive convening infrastructure designed to read a changing education landscape after the February 6 earthquakes. Field intelligence, policy developments, and community needs become shared orientation through a deliberate recurring rhythm.

The designed object is not the meetings themselves but a community infrastructure that senses and processes a moving crisis. Weekly sessions during the first six months support real-time monitoring; as the field matures, the rhythm shifts to at least two convenings a month. The agenda behaves less like a fixed program than a sensor that selects and frames field reports, public decisions, international insight, and member requests. Presentations, training, peer exchange, and facilitated discussion respond to different knowledge needs, building collective capacity between organizations on the ground and expertise beyond the disaster zone.

Convening infrastructure for a moving crisis

A community system that not only shares information, but senses and frames a changing field and prepares it for collective action.

Orienting a community while the crisis moves

Fragmented field intelligence enters a recurring community rhythm and becomes shared orientation and coordination. Roughly 30 organizations and experts at the first meeting form the starting node of an expanding solidarity space.

Designing the agenda as a sensor

The agenda does not simply sequence speakers; it selects and frames signals from a changing landscape and directs collective attention to the question that matters now.

Turning cadence into capacity

A tight early rhythm enables real-time monitoring; a later cadence that becomes lighter without disappearing sustains trust and collective learning.

From information to collective capacity

Monitoring, interpretation, connection, and response become a designed sequence, bringing organizations on the ground and expertise beyond the region into one learning line.
