Our youth are the pillars of our society to support its growth and development. The multifaceted nature of the world today demands an informed and skilled citizenry. While education has been one of the most funded philanthropic initiatives globally, with the rapidly changing demands of our global world, how can philanthropy in education keep up with the pace of change and stay relevant?

With the help of philanthropists, scholarship schemes have been established to empower the underprivileged youth.  The youth are also encouraged to explore their talents and unleash their full potential in different disciplines through developmental programmes. This session will highlight philanthropy’s role and approach in tackling the key issues surrounding youth and education, whilst featuring successful initiatives that are exemplary in their field.
