However\, amidst the pursuit of academic excellence\, we emphasize that the well-being of students should never be overshadowed.\n\n\n\nIn collaboration with renowned experts\, educators\, and student leaders\, this one-day forum aims to address the critical topic of mental health and promote a nurturing and supportive school environment that fosters the well-being of both students and educators in schools.\n\n		\n\n	\n	\n		\n		\n\n	\n\n	\n\n	\n		\n			\n			\n	\n								\n									\n					\n								\n\n	\n	\n		\n			\n\n	\n\n\n		\n\n		\n\n	\n	\n	\n		\n\n			\n			\n			\n\n		\n\n		\n			\n🎓 Why Attend?\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n			\n\nThe importance of this forum becomes even more pronounced when considering concerning statistics.

SUMMARY:The Call to Unite Schools towards Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:The Call to Unite Schools towards Sustainability: Envisioning a Post-COVID-19 Education \n\n	\n		\n\n			\n			\n			\n\n		\n\n		\n			\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n			\n	\n								\n									\n					\n								\n\n	\n	\n	\n								\n									\n					\n								\n\n	\n	\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\nThe Call to Unite Schools towards Sustainability: Envisioning a Post-COVID-19 Education provides an ideal setting for discussions\, dialogues\, and collaboration among education leaders with experts and practitioners on sustainability and sustainable practices as keynote\, plenary\, and breakout session speakers. \n	\n		\nThe main goal of the virtual global conference is to engage education leaders to gain a deeper understanding of the need to transform education and include sustainability at the heart of schooling. Likewise\, one of its aims is to get the participants’ commitment to initiate programs and projects on sustainability in their respective educational institutions and communities.\n		\n\n	\n	\nParticipants will collaboratively reassess and re-evaluate existing school curricula and practices. These are some of the questions that will be answered during the conference: Do schools develop the learners’ skills\, values and attitudes so that they act in a manner that exhibits awareness of how all things are connected? Do schools teach learners to become excellent leaders to be able to make informed decisions for the greater good of all? How can we build a system of education that can quickly respond to the changes in the surrounding world? How can schools help address the climate crisis\, ensure the protection of the natural environment and achieve well-being and equity for all? \n	\n		\n\n	\n	\nTo be able to achieve our goal\, the following objectives are set forth: \n\n\n\nConnect schools\, school leaders\, and other organizations around the globe to learn from each other\, particularly\, the innovative practices in schools and communities\, key challenges and strategies as well as evidence about their impact\nPromote leadership and professional development by providing participants access to resources and platforms for collaboration\nBuild partnerships between and among schools\, higher education institutions\, civil society\, the private and public sector\, communities and youth to provide relevant professional development to support existing and/or future sustainability curricula\, programs and projects\nGet commitment from education leaders and other participants to create policies and implement programs and projects that will promote sustainability in respective institutions and communities\nFacilitate access of schools and other organizations to get the necessary support they need to succeed in providing an effective\, relevant sustainability education\n\n\n\nThe education community cannot act alone and solve present and future problems on its own. Collaboration and partnership with the different sectors of society is essential and should be sought. \nIn this summit\, there are sessions wherein practitioners and experts of sustainability from educational institutions\, communities\, business\, media\, government\, and non-governmental organizations will share how they implement radical and ambitious initiatives in relation to sustainability\, climate action as well as social and economic equality. \n		\n			\n\n	\n\n		\n\n		\n\n	\n	\n\n	\n		\n\n			\n			\n			\n\n		\n\n		\n			\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n			\nOutcomes\nThere are three main outputs from the global conference: \n		\n			\n\n	\n\n	\n		\n			\n			\nA compilation of presentations shared during the virtual event to be made available online \n		\n			\n\n	\n\n	\n		\n			\n			\nA collection of documentary videos on sustainability presented by schools\, civil society groups\, governments and other organizations during the virtual conference. \n		\n			\n\n	\n\n	\n		\n			\n			\nA pledge of commitment from all participants to commit to create policies and implement programs and projects that will promote sustainability in respective institutions and communities in their schools\, universities\, and communities. \n		\n			\n\n	\n\n		\n\n		\n\n	\n	\n\n	\n		\n\n			\n			\n			\n\n		\n\n		\n			\nParticipants & Format of the Global Summit\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n			\n	\n								\n									\n					\n								\n\n	\n	\nOrganized by Partnerships for Sustainability Education (PSE)\, the virtual conference will bring together about hundreds of leaders in education around the world\, mostly comprising leaders in K-12 schools\, colleges\, universities\, teacher training institutions\, and ministry of education.
