One month until ICC25: Announcing our partnership with APNS Indonesia and keynote speaker Wayan Sutrisna

The wait is nearly over! With just one month to go until our vibrant global community joins us in sunny Bali for the International Curriculum Conference 2025, we are beyond excited to announce our partnership with The Association of National and Private Schools (APNS) and introduce our second keynote speaker, Wayan Sutrisna.

Welcoming visionary leader, Wayan Sutrisna, as our second keynote speaker

We are thrilled to introduce our second keynote speaker, Wayan Sutrisna, who is one of Bali’s leading practitioners in Maharishi Transcendental Meditation and Director of Education for World Peace.

Wayan Sutrisna’s career in education spans over 20 years, focusing on the use of Transcendental Meditation techniques to empower his student to become better learners through promoting clearer thinking, better focus, and increased self-confidence. Sutrisna’s innovative approach to learning highlights that by helping to shape peaceful brains, we create peaceful students, and in turn actively contribute to creating a peaceful world. Sutrisna’s dedication to the practice of Transcendental Meditation has shaped the lives of thousands of students in becoming the open-minded and empathetic leaders who are equipped to respond to the challenges of the modern world. We can’t wait to hear his insights!

Forging new paths with APNS

This year, we are delighted to announce that we have partnered with ANPS for the final day of the Conference. We are excited to be enhancing our Conference further through partnering with a vibrant community of educators committed to best practices in teaching and learning in Indonesia.

As part of our ongoing commitment to inclusive and sustainable education development, we will be hosting a parallel Early Years Education Convention on day three, designed specifically for Indonesian early years educators. This special programme will be delivered in collaboration with the ANPS and will feature its own keynote, focused workshops and access to network opportunities.

The Convention runs in parallel with the main Conference programme and will provide a meaningful platform for local educators to engage with best practices, practical innovations, and peers across the sector.

Learn from our global community

Alongside our guest keynote speaker, we are also hosting a variety of thought-provoking and inspiring workshops facilitated by our dedicated educators across the ICA community.

Across the weekend, ICA educators will be leading a wide range of interactive, hands-on workshops to enhance your communication skills, pedagogy styles, and approaches to the curriculum to create thriving, dynamic, and inclusive learning environments in your schools. From Mathematics in everyday contexts, embedding cultural responsiveness in the classroom, to utilising your professional voice as teachers in the 21st century, there will be a variety of sessions to spark meaningful dialogue and develop your skills to adapt, thrive, and transform with the ICA.

There are a limited number of tickets available for those wanting to secure a spot to this year’s Conference, which focuses on the theme: ‘Education Evolution 25: Adapting, Thriving, and Transforming’. This celebrates 25 years of the International Primary Curriculum and champions our collective commitment to the ICA in the past, present, and future.
