11th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON LIFE SKILLS EDUCATION -ICLSE 2026
2026-02-05 - 2026-02-07 | Campus-6 Auditorium, KIIT, Bhubaneswar, 751024, India
BACKDROP
The world today is navigating an era of profound transformation, accelerated by climate crises, global conflicts, digital disruptions, social fragmentation, and widening inequalities. At this critical juncture, education beyond 2030 must be reimagined not merely as a tool for employability but as a public good that fosters ethical leadership, peaceful coexistence, and planetary wellbeing. The evolving landscape compels us to shift from a narrow perspective of academic success toward a broader vision of human flourishing- one where life skills are seen as foundational competencies for meaningful and just participation in society.
As we confront the realities of misinformation, surveillance, displacement, and identity polarisation, the relevance of life skills has never been greater. These cross-cutting capabilities empower individuals to manage complexity, make responsible decisions, and build inclusive relationships – all of which are vital to nurturing democratic values and social cohesion. A rights-based, holistic approach to life skills education positions learners not only as beneficiaries but also as active agents of change who can uphold human dignity and challenge systemic injustices in both global and local contexts.
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
This conference offers a dynamic platform to explore how life skills education can become a cornerstone of equitable, inclusive, and sustainable societies. Bringing together life skills professionals from diverse domains, the event will open space for deep dialogue, policy reflection, and practice-based innovation. We invite you to join this collective endeavour — to reimagine educational systems as transformative spaces that equip learners not only to survive the future, but to shape it with courage, compassion, and conviction.
STRUCTURE OF THE CONFERENCE
The inaugural session, Panel discussions, Symposia, Thematic sessions (in both face-to-face and online modes), Plenary Sessions, NGO Conclave, Think Tank, Round Table, Teen Talk, Invited Lectures, Master Classes, Breakout Sessions, Spotlight sessions, and the Valedictory session are planned over three days.
The conference, which will be held in hybrid mode (in-person and online), is expected to cater to over 300 delegates from India and abroad.
