The Academy is an online event offering a choice of highly-specialized tracks on ILS addressed to different target groups. It provides in-depth understanding of the comprehensive system of ILS and its application at national level to a broad range of professionals active in promoting social justice and sustainable development. During its plenary Master Classes, participants with various professional backgrounds explore standards-related themes presented in the context of building back better from COVID-19 and, more broadly, the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
