State-led implementation network for the Safe Schools Declaration

At the Third International Conference on Safe Schools in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, Norway undertook to establish a network of states to mutually support and strengthen the implementation of the Safe Schools Declaration. The network will promote cooperation, assistance, and peer-to-peer exchange between endorsing states. It will strengthen state-ownership of the implementation process, whilst also providing an opportunity for states to receive support from a global community of experts, participate in discussions and practical exercises, and discuss challenges in a confidential forum. By sharing concrete, effective measures to protect students, teachers, schools and universities from attack, states can inspire and provide guidance to each other and other partners.
