09:45 - 10:45  MEET THE EDUCATORS
They are the most important people, outside the home, when it comes to influencing and nurturing young minds. Educators have profound impact on your child - get to know some of them in this panel that will draw out how each of them are playing their part in promoting virtues and values in schools. What works, and what doesn't? And what can we learn from their hands-on experiences?

THE SPEAKERS
THE SJIIES GLOBAL INITIATIVE PROGRAMME
So the educators have done their job and shared their opinions but how do these translate into the real world? How can parents, teachers and children work together to ensure that character-building is an ongoing journey and not just something that happens several hours a day? We showcase case studies of collaboration and cooperation.
