Rebuilding Universities of the Past for Future Ukraine and Beyond
Keywords:

This article presents findings from a series of interviews focused on the future of higher education. Members of a team of young people called Future is in Our Hands (FIOH) were brought together by the Ashoka program Youth Leadership for Emerging Future. These young people, many of whom are refugees, sought to answer the question, “What kind of a world do we want to live in?” through a series of conversations, convenings, and interviews. One of their areas of inquiry was about the future role of higher education with a focus on universities. As universities in Ukraine (and elsewhere) have been destroyed through war and conflict, FIOH saw an opportunity to reimagine what they could look like so that when it came time to rebuild, they were better than before – more relevant, more productive, and better able to meet the needs of young people and their communities.
