Quest 2 Learn Summit 2021

Some conversations were complex, some were very simple and honest. Each conversation was insightful.

Quest2Learn is our community’s effort to build a new education-skilling sector that is inclusive, adaptable, and truly thriving. Students, educators, sector practitioners, design thinkers, researchers, technologists, govt. representatives and social impact investors dived into valuable conversations on enabling meaningful school-to-work transitions for young people.

This year, we spoke about the implications of COVID-19 on the education ecosystem, the role of education technology in self-learning environments, and the Future of Work and successful transitions for India’s youth. Take a look at some of the highlights from Quest2Learn Summit 2021!
