eXperience Asia

Scheduled for 12-14 July at the magnificent Marina Bay Sands, eXperience Asia is an exciting exploration of the latest innovations in education. It offers a unique perspective from Asia’s leading voices about the future of education, technology, and design in shaping better learning environments.

Singapore’s unique edge

Singapore is a cultural and economic gateway to Asia, a rapidly changing part of the world. How are learning environments evolving with the pace of this change? How can lives be transformed through education?

What physical, social and pedagogical elements do we need to create a cohesive, comfortable and stimulating environment for effective learning and teaching?
