Participants

WISE Forum is a “by invitation only” event that will bring together 1,000 leading education figures from all disciplines, levels, supports and media coming from more than 50 countries and representing the 5 continents.

The Forum will offer participants the opportunity to develop a better understanding of the current and emerging issues affecting the global education agenda and a way of sharing innovative ways to address them.

The Forum will draw leaders and decision-makers specialised in education, from pre-school to higher education, endowed with a multicultural perspective and committed in innovation in various disciplines around the world.

Participants will reflect the nature of the initiative as a multi-stakeholder undertaking and will range from:
Academics: experts from teaching and research areas in major national education institutions from pre-school to higher education and life-long learning.
Policy makers: current and former politicians expert on education and interested in international cooperation.
NGOs/associations representatives: heads of NGOs/associations acting for education development and enhancement or for children’s causes.
Private sector representatives: multinational companies committed in education, development, IT, culture and arts.
And almost 200 journalists from a selection of top tier media.
