InvokED 3.0
At its third edition, we built the momentum for the people’s movement for education equity –Shikshāgraha. Over two days, along with 750+ participants and 70+ speakers, we identified ways to catalyse different elements of movement building. And defined the next steps to shape this movement together, so that all our children can dream, learn and succeed. InvokED 3.0 introduced new possibilities for enhancing knowledge and networking with unique brainstorming spaces.
