The third Varindra T. Vittachi International conference ‘Creating New Visions for Education’ will be held in Nova Scotia, Canada during August 2004.
Creating New Visions for Education
This conference is open to students, faculty administrators, government officials and other interested parties, with the aim of discovering, defining and encouraging personal and institutional change within education.
The conference will address the following questions:
What would count as a personal transformation for me?
What makes an educational experience transformative?
What are the obstacles to, and the opportunities for, transformation in my educational institution?
How can we change our educational institutions so that they become avenues for personal and societal transformation?

Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.
C W.B Yeats
Education has the power to genuinely transform a person by dramatically altering his or her life. Too often, however, the educational experience is merely a chore for students, a routine for faculty, a set of problems for administrators and a means to economic growth for governments. What can we do to change this situation?
We would like to invite students, faculty, administrators, government officials and other interested parties to the third Varindra T. Vittachi International conference to discover, define and encourage personal and institutional change concerning education in an innovative, open and rigorous way.
We recognize that the future of education lies in the hands of those who are presently serving as students, and would like to attract at least two-thirds of our conference participants from among the ranks of current high school and university/college students. We ask that the education professionals who are planning to attend make every effort to enable students to participate.
