Global Schools Presents at WISE12

Global Schools recently participated in the World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE) in Doha, hosted by the Qatar Foundation.

This summit brought together global leaders to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence and humanity, under the theme of “Humanity.io: Human Values at the Heart of Education.”

Across the panel discussions and workshops during the two day forum, there was a strong focus on how AI is being integrated into education, as well as ensuring that innovation and technology remain grounded in student learning, well-being, and the cultivation of critical thinking. 

Global Schools Director, Amanda Abrom is a WISE Emerging Leader Fellow Alumna. As part of her work with WISE, Abrom took part in the Pedagogical Innovation Showcase, highlighting the impact of its Global Schools Advocates initiative and UN at Your Doorstep Program. These programs play a key role in supporting educators through sustainability-focused professional development while fostering a global community of teacher-leaders committed to climate action and planetary stewardship.

During the panel, Abrom joined fellow innovators Wanjiku Itambo (Kidogo Early Years), Omowumi Ogunrotimi (Gender Mobile Initiative), and Zubair Junjunia (ZNotes).

In addition to the main summit, Global Schools joined Education House, co-hosted by HundrED, Salzburg Global, and Teach For All. This gathering marked the launch of the HundrED Innovation Collection 2026, which includes the Global Schools Program among this year’s recognized innovations. 

The Global Schools Program is grateful to the Qatar Foundation for its leadership and support, and looks forward to future engagements.
