YCCECE is proud to take part in the YCYW’s Inaugural International Education Symposium, together with global thought leaders to forge the blueprint for the future of education.

On 1 - 2 Mar, the symposium in Shanghai brought together global thought leaders and attracted more than 10,000 participants from around the world to explore the direction and challenges of future education. There were 2 keynote speeches, 5 guest lectures, and 20 professional workshops. Topics spanned YCYW's forward-looking educational models, early childhood education, and astronomy education, all of which were warmly received by the participants.
