The second day is a FREE expo designed to engage teaching practitioners, parents/guardians, members of not-for-profit organizations, and community members. Presentations on this day involve the use of infographics and handouts, booths, and short enlightening presentations (“Lightening Ed-Talks"). Following the short presentations, participants will have the chance to join the workshop component, giving them practical insights and resources to implement well-being strategies in their settings. The marketplace booth hall will serve as a central hub for additional information geared towards educators, parents and families in many different areas on the wellbeing of their students and children in their education journey, creating a space for further exploration and networking.
Details of the three types of sessions are provided below.
