From 21 to 25 August, the Polytechnic University will host the REGS International School, an event of dialogue, exchange, integration and solidarity between postgraduate students, representatives of civil society organizations and public policy makers, organized in partnership with the Knowledge Network on the Right to Education in the Global South (REGS).

The event is entitled "The Right to Higher Education in the Global South: Horizons, Disputes and Meanings", and will debate public policies and transformative and inclusive institutional actions, alternative experiences and projects for access to higher education, as well as the production of knowledge about education systems in the Global South.

During the five days, seminars, dialogue tables and workshops will be organized with the participation of national and international speakers, including professors, researchers, graduate students, government representatives, public policy makers, activists and members of civil society organizations from 12 Latin American countries, South Africa and the United States of America.

REGS is formed by the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO), the Arab Council of Social Sciences (ACSS), among other entities, and its objectives include contributing to the construction of networks of academics, social activists and public policy representatives interested in the democratization of higher education from a perspective of social justice and equity, and providing a space for exchange, learning and dialogue on the right to education in the Global South.
