International Baccalaureate First Virtual Conference
2020: Reimagine the Future of Education
18 Dec 2020
“I want to discuss ...and re-examine the role of IB in
an ever-changing world,” Dr. Siva Kumari, the IB
Director General highlights the message that she wants
to deliver in the opening session of the first IB
virtual Conference on December 8, 2020. This message
sets the tone for the rest of the virtual sessions
extending from December 9 through December 11. The
sessions come as an interpretation of the above
statement and an elaboration on this year’s theme,
Reimagine the Future of Education. The theme and Dr.
Kumari’s message are open invitations to re-assess and
re-evaluate our pedagogical practices in alignment with
an ever-changing world.
The sessions highlight various concepts starting with
the significance of humanizing the virtual experience
and to keep it about building the learner’s character,
to transforming pedagogies, to reimagining the
infrastructure of education to fit a futuristic job
market, and to finally reaching the well-being of the
learner and the educator in such a new learning
environment. These concepts are addressed in the light
of how the IB organization is examining its role as an
independent actor aiming at providing quality education
for all in a challenging world.
To be part of such a global educational gathering of
around 4500 participants is the best interpretation of
international connectedness. The IB Virtual Conference
2020 gives you the experience of being part of a global
celebration commending the role of IB educators as
catalysts for a global positive change that pushes
forward the role of education to improve our lives and
eventually to have a better future.
