In a world facing transformative challenges and opportunities, education must evolve to empower people with the tools and mindsets needed to thrive in a rapidly changing landscape. The 12th edition of the World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE) centers around the theme “Humanity.io: Human Values at the Heart of Education.”

WISE 12 will further the conversation on the purpose of education and its vital role in serving humanity even as it incorporates exciting new technologies and innovations. The “.io” serves as a symbolic bridge between technology and humanity, reminding us that innovation in education must remain deeply human-centered.

At its core, the summit will examine how bold system-level change, anchored in human values, can ensure education remains adaptable, accessible, and relevant. This theme places equity, empathy, and human dignity at the core of how we imagine education in an AI-powered world.
