Each webinar featured prominent speakers namely Mr. Fadi Yarak, Senior Education Advisor for Education in the Arab States at UNESCO Beirut, Ms. Dakmara Georgescu, PhD, Education Programme Specialist at UNESCO Beirut, and Ms. Mona Baroud Nabhani, PhD, Education consultant. The webinars also welcomed several contributors to the Tarbiyah21 Repository, showcasing innovative pedagogical practices and emphasizing their impact on quality education.

The series fostered a dynamic exchange of ideas, encouraging participants to discuss these practices through questions, comments, and sharing their own experiences. This collaborative approach created a valuable platform for learning and professional development, aligning with the Transforming Education Summit's (TES) recommendations for accelerated progress towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4).

The Tarbiyah21 Repository of Promising Teaching and Learning Practices - an outcome of a joint project of UNESCO Beirut and Arabic Thought Foundation (ATF) - serves as a valuable resource for educators across the Arab world. The repository empowers educators to enhance their pedagogical skills and knowledge, discover and leverage effective strategies for diverse learning needs, promote learners’ engagement and motivation, and contribute to creating a more inclusive and equitable learning environment.
