In today’s fast-paced and ever-evolving educational landscape, fostering the well-being and values of students has become a paramount concern for schools and educational institutions. To address this critical aspect of education, several foundations in 2021 formed the Education Funders Circle, with hopes of mutual learning and addressing this issue at scale. The panel brings together representatives from various foundations of the Education Funders Circle with extensive experience working hand in hand with schools on Well-being and Values Education initiatives, from Positive Education to Social Emotional Learning and more.
The panel aims to shed light on the transformative journeys schools have undertaken in their quest to provide holistic education that nurtures not only academic excellence, but also the emotional, social, and moral development of their students. These foundations have been instrumental in partnering with schools and NGO’s to develop and implement innovative programmes that foster well-being, resilience, and values-based education.
During this enlightening panel discussion, attendees will have the opportunity to gain insights into the following key areas:
