Being part of a community, learning, working in groups and having fun
Our conferences represent a unique opportunity to be part of community that is transforming education in developing countries by integrating entrepreneurship and financial sustainability into the fabric of schools. The events are also a chance to discover how new and innovative models are tackling key challenges in education across the developing world, such as:
- How to provide high quality education without high fees?
- How to finance improved facilities without outside support?
- How to teach young people to succeed as entrepreneurs?
- How to empower future generations to break out of the poverty trap?
Unlike other events which are dominated by endless PowerPoint presentations, we focus on learning in small groups, and sharing expertise within solution-oriented workshops. What is also very important, our conferences are always based at schools that are implementing the model of Financially Sustainable Schools to learn hands on from hosts. We also believe that much of the value in conferences such as ours comes from the working relationships formed, so we make sure there's plenty of time in the evenings for fun and getting to know one another.

There's nothing more frustrating that deciding to go to a future conference only to find it's too late to have a chance to speak, it's already full, or it's already taken place!
