Education and learning are not limited to “school” and for authentic community collaboration, solidarity and self-confidence, we need to think beyond the traditional and most comfortable educational structures. Education and learning are fundamental to most, if not all, social systems and connecting systems can become a powerful tool for change.
“Through dynamic workshops, panel discussions and sessions led by both local and international presenters, the conference will explore topics including education-partnerships, student well-being, innovation in education and the impact of inclusion in education,” the spokesperson said. The conference fee includes refreshments and lunch for two days, as well as an evening reception, where sponsors, presenters and delegates will have the opportunity to network and connect in a casual, informal atmosphere.
“The organizers have received a fantastic sponsor response from the international community and continue to look for local sponsors to enhance the quality of the conference and ensure it is a truly impactful and inspiring experience for all participants. This includes speaker, delegate registration, providing valuable resources, and creating a space that fosters collaboration and innovation among industry leaders.
