Highlights from the Leadership Summit

Changemaking Starts in the Classroom

With a remarkable 10-year track record of leading young people in climate action, Melati will delve into the vital importance of empowering today's youth for a sustainable future. Gain invaluable insights and engage in an interactive Q&A session with Melati as we explore how to cultivate the next generation of global changemakers, equipping them to thrive in and lead the way in a disruptive future of work, learning, and living.

How entrepreneurship will future proof our children

Hear how through project-based, experiential learning, learners have been developing solutions for real-life problems. Understand why it is crucial to build entrepreneurial education into schools and discover practical strategies for how you can empower your learners with tools to develop their agency, problem-solving and entrepreneurial skills, and make a real impact beyond their school community.

Transforming TVET for the green transition

There is a global responsibility to forge greener socio-economic systems at a rapid rate, which in turn requires the development of greener jobs and therefore greener skills training. This session will gather a range of perspectives from Asia’s TVET ecosystem to consider what the greening of skills development looks like in practice and how we can prepare the current and future workforce for an increasingly climate-conscious world.

Highlights from the Classroom Theatre

Bett Asia School Challenge

An exciting new initiative for 2023, the Bett Asia School Challenge is a Southeast Asia-wide competition for students aged 7-17, created to promote big-thinking and innovative ideas on a large scale, to help provide solutions for schools and education issues using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

During the exciting in-person live final in the Classroom Theatre, student teams pitched their projects in front of a panel of expert judges.

Post-Dashboard Analytics: Using school data proactively

Rowan Freeman, Head of Product at Intellischool, walked participants through the process of progressing from building an analytics strategy to translating it into crucial actions, as well as addressed 'spurious correlations,' 'pointless predictions,' and common points of need for information.

The Power of Esports in Education: A guide to getting started

In this session, experts from various organisations and perspectives delved into the benefits of integrating esports into education and the skills and career development opportunities it can unlock for students. We heard directly from educators who have successfully implemented esports programmes within their schools and gained practical strategies to kickstart our esports in education journey.
