Unleashing Potential: Empowering Tomorrow's Learning Leaders

This year, the OEB Global Conference is excited to introduce the "30 under 30" programme, designed to spotlight the next generation of leaders who are pioneering change and innovation in the realm of learning and education.

This initiative seeks to recognise and celebrate thirty individuals under the age of thirty, whose ground-breaking work embodies the spirit of open, sustainable, and inclusive learning. By providing a platform for these young visionaries, the OEB Conference aims to highlight fresh, diverse perspectives and cutting-edge ideas that can challenge the status quo and inspire learning communities worldwide. Participants of the "30 under 30" programme will have the unique opportunity to share their insights and projects with a global audience, fostering dialogue and collaboration among educators, policymakers, and innovators across the globe. At the thirtieth edition of OEB Global, we will celebrate the achievements and potential of these remarkable change-makers who are shaping the future of education.
