2024 Annual IC3 Conference and Expo (ConvSDG x IC3)

I recently represented Vasant Valley School and was a volunteer at the 2024 IC3 Annual Conference and Expo. Volunteering at this international conference was a meaningful experience! Counseling is an important avenue to develop individuals and 'hold the mirror' - that came out strongly during the Conference. I was one of four student panelists speaking at the event, and my session was 'Higher Education Choices: Fostering Curiosity and Bridging Expectations.’ I talked about how changes can be made to the CBSE curriculum to help foster curiosity among students and highlighted the need to shift from an atmosphere of competition to one of competence. Interacting with educationists and college counsellors was inspiring – reinforcing the power of enabling others!
