July 23 was the second day of our World Congress and a day dedicated to democracy, recognising the challenges it is facing and standing up to protect it. The highlights of the day were the inspiring speech delivered by Maria Ressa and the launch of "On Education and Democracy: 25 Lessons from the Teaching Profession" by Fred van Leeuwen, EI Secretary General Emeritus, and Susan Hopgood, EI President. Have a look at the pictures of the day on the Education International Flickr. Feel free to use them to spread the word about our 8th World Congress and don't forget to use #EICongress.
