We cordially invite students/youths, faculty, administrators and government officials to participate in a process of structured group reflection on transformation and its implications for educational practice. The aim is to define and taste how education can really transform who we are and what we do. The conference will provide the conditions for participants to explore the personal experience of transformation and will help empower them to effect changes in their educational institutions. Questions to be considered at the conference will be:
What would count as 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?
In short, together we will investigate what makes education transformational and identify ways in which our ideals can be put into practice back home in our own institutions. There will be about 235 participants from around the world, of which two-thirds will be current high-school and college/university students. We will work in small groups, each of which will be coordinated by a trained facilitator, who will help create a safe and open space for honest and deep dialogue.
The lead speaker will be Ms. Anuradha Vittachi, the Sri Lankan author and award-winning television producer. The conference is named after her father, the late Varindra (Tarzie) Vittachi, a famous journalist and author who served as the deputy director of UNICEF. We will announce other keynote speakers later.

Scholarship funds will be limited and will be distributed on a competitive basis to those who can demonstrate need.
Inquiries may be directed to Ms. Scherto Gill at the Guerrand-Hermes Foundation for Peace at Scherto@ghfp.org.
