We invite you to share your educational journey by submitting posters that showcase success stories, case studies,  or preliminary research connected to this year’s theme: Shaping Education Through Values, Voices, and Vision.

What we’re looking for

• Vision: How does your work reflect your vision for the future of education? Share your perspectives, goals, and innovative practices that push boundaries and inspire change.
• Values: How do your values shape your teaching and learning environment? Highlight how principles such as inclusivity, curiosity, and integrity guide your educational choices and practices.
