2nd SUMMITIEUA Federal Secretary Chris Watt has been invited to WISE 2010 as a guest of the Qatar Foundation. "The 2009 Summit was an extraordinary event, with some truly inspiring and memorable presentations" said Chris Watt "It is a privilege to have been invited to again attend the Summit." The WISE 2010 theme is "Building the Future of Education" with two sub-themes "Improving Education Systems" and "Exploring Innovative Trends". The Summit will also feature a plenary session on "Funding Education" The Summit brings together 1000 participants selected from many different walks of life and every corner of the world: eminent decision makers, educationalists, thought leaders, politicians and a wide range of public and private sector multistakeholders. WISE is an initiative of Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development, under the aegis of Her Highness Sheikha Mozah Bint Nasser Al Missned. "WISE is based on the practical awareness that the challenges in education are no longer bound by countries’ political boundaries and, therefore, its mandate is international. WISE recognises that the challenges facing the world community have never been greater - that we need innovative solutions not achieved by traditional approaches alone. WISE asserts that the desire to innovate is, in fact, an innate human need to shape and improve our environment." - Her Highness Sheikha Mozah Bint Nasser Al Missned To read more about the Summit click here |
