Education transforms lives. But what does it take to transform education?

The future has never been harder to predict — and the urgency to catalyze change in education has never been greater. 

 

Join us to hear perspectives from around the world on the ideas and practices already driving change at every level, from classrooms to systems. 

 

Explore ideas with some of the most innovative changemakers in education 

With panels featuring Yidan Prize laureates and other distinguished experts from across the education spectrum, we talked about topics including:   

  • fostering deep understanding in the classroom 
  • widening access to quality higher education 
  • putting once-marginalized students center stage to drive change 
  • understanding the role of evidence-based philanthropy  
  • how to inspire and galvanize social change movements
