About The Symposium

Now in its third year, the DSB International Symposium is a growing global platform for creative exchange, bold thinking, and educational transformation.

Hosted in Mumbai, the symposium brings together leaders in education, innovation, and EdTech who are shaping the future of learning. Each gathering is designed to inspire new perspectives, foster meaningful connections, and explore how creativity, research, and practice intersect to support learners, communities, and systems. We aim to empower leaders to add value to their respective communities and beyond.

From keynote conversations to collaborative sessions and paper presentations, the symposium is where imagination meets impact and where DSB’s commitment to creativity in education takes center stage.

Highlights From Symposium 2024
