The forum is expected to attract 1,000 education innovators, leaders and decision makers from China and worldwide.

The Beijing engagement, which takes place during the Qatar-China Year of Culture, is a timely opportunity to further explore collaborations between the two countries. It aims to deepen mutual understanding and celebrate common values between the two cultures, removing barriers and opening minds.

The 2016 WISE Awards winning projects will be introduced and celebrated during the forum; representatives of the projects will participate in workshops and panel discussions. WISE and the 21st Century Education Research Institute will present their latest research and policy publications.

WISE, the leading global initiative driving innovation and collaboration in education, is also very pleased to announce that the Chinese editions of the WISE Books will be launched during the engagement in Beijing. Authors and contributors to the three books will be present for a special signing session, a photo exhibition, and will also take part in panel discussions during the forum.

The WISE-LIFE Forum will encourage lively discussion and new insights and perspectives on topics including frugal innovation, education for rural and migrant children, and the integration of 21st century skills in education. In showcasing best practices and research, the engagement represents the latest global efforts in education innovation with the goal of creating a more equitable future for China and for education systems worldwide.
