Global Citizen x IMPACT WEEK: The Future of Education & Rethinking Systems
16 Sep 2025, 16:00:00 - 17:30:00 (GTM+8:00)
Impact Forum (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
Global Citizen believes the success of young people is the success of everyone. But classrooms cannot deliver if students are hungry, offline, or unwell. Ending extreme poverty means removing barriers to learning such as nutrition, healthcare, connectivity, reliable energy, safety, and equitable opportunity. Education is not a line item; it is a growth strategy that builds skills, jobs, and resilient communities.
This plenary also confronts the systems that shape progress. Multilateral frameworks, governance structures, and financial models are not permanent; they are choices. Reform is needed, from the very top to the grassroots, to sustain progress on education and development.
Curated by Global Citizen, the session will showcase the organisation’s unique advocacy model, demonstrating how citizen action can drive systemic reform, and how quality education delivers only when connected to healthcare, energy, and equity and how reimagining governance and finance can expand opportunity, supercharge development, and build a future that works for all.
The program blends keynotes, discussions, and performances with practical solutions and a public call to take action, so every young person has the chance not just to learn, but to lead.
