Policy Roundtable
This featured in-person session, Moral Education and Public Policy, will bring together senior figures from research, policy, and philanthropy to explore strategies for integrating character and virtue development into educational systems. The panel is expected to include:
The roundtable will foster direct and indirect exchange between policymakers, education system leaders, and the global moral education community, with the aim of identifying actionable steps for systemic adoption of effective practices.
The Policy Roundtable will also complement the Programs and Practice Day, offering a platform where effective educational programs can directly inform policy discussions and where decision-makers can engage with practitioners working on the ground.
