Better Future Forum

Global Forum for a Better Future

About the Forum

The Better Future Forum is an annual event that brings together diverse leaders in the broader global education ecosystem to connect, learn together, and take collective action towards growing all students holistically so they can shape a better future. The Forum’s aims are threefold:

  • CONNECT: Foster relationships among leaders from across global, regional, and local education ecosystems, including those often excluded from global policy spaces. 
  • LEARN: Bridge the gap between practice and policy by surfacing and spreading practitioner-led insights and evidence on the following learning questions:
    • What is happening in classrooms where students are developing holistically?
    • What is happening in places where collective leadership is developing towards system change?
    • How can we develop collective leadership to shift classrooms and systems?
  • SPARK COLLECTIVE ACTION: Enable collective action and leadership through fostering partnerships, joint advocacy, and commitments to advance a shared agenda and vision for progress with impact beyond the Forum itself.
