How do education systems around the world teach young people to care for themselves, for others, and for the world they inhabit? This session offers a global, research-informed exploration of wellbeing in education, drawing on insights from comparative education, international policy frameworks, and emerging scholarship on holistic learning.
Together, we will examine how different cultural and educational traditions conceptualize care, belonging, community, and responsibility within schooling. The session highlights the diverse ways wellbeing is integrated into curricula, school culture, and daily learning experiences across global contexts. Participants will reflect on shared challenges, consider varied approaches to supporting learner and educator wellbeing, and engage in collective sense-making around the future of caring education.
This gathering creates space for dialogue, exchange, and reflection among individuals committed to imagining more humane, connected, and compassionate educational futures.
