Beyond Oil: Education for Growth, Inclusion, and Human Flourishing in Venezuela
Date and Time
Join us at the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) for Beyond Oil: Education for Growth, Inclusion, and Human Flourishing in Venezuela, a one-day conference hosted by the Education Lab for Latin America (ELLA).
On Tuesday, May 12, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in Askwith Auditorium, scholars and practitioners from research, policy, and practice will examine how education can underpin Venezuela’s political and economic transition. While global debates often focus on energy and human rights, this convening places education at the center of a sustainable and inclusive path forward.
The program will feature opening remarks by HGSE Dean Nonie Lesaux and sessions led by students, faculty, and leading invited experts on six priority areas for education reform in Venezuela. Our goal is to foster rigorous, interdisciplinary dialogue and to spark future collaboration.
