4th Education Confluence

Himalayan Institute of Alternatives, Ladakh (HIAL) is conducting the 4th edition of its education confluence: 3R to 3H, The Next Learning Revolution from May 23rd - 29th, 2025 in Phyang, Leh, Ladakh. It is called a confluence and not a conference because it is a meeting of minds of world's leading and disruptive educationists to collectively share, discuss and brainstorm the School and University Education of the future which is "Contextual, Trans-disciplinary & Experiential" in line with NEP 2020.

To be nestled in the surreal scenic beauty of Ladakh at the celebrated SECMOL Alternative school, newly established HIAL campus and several other educational and beautiful locales, the conference will host a stellar community of educators from the length and breadth of the country. Keynotes and coffee table discussions will bring to focus learning by doing, collaborative education, trans-disciplinary learning and holistic and spiritual education in School and Higher Education.
