About The Symposium

Now entering its third year, the DSB International Symposium has become one of the world’s most forward-looking platforms for creative exchange and educational transformation.

In 2025, Mumbai is the meeting point for the future of learning, where visionary educators, parents, and innovators from India, the UK, and beyond come together to imagine what education can become.

Over two days of keynotes, collaborative sessions, and research presentations, thought leaders will explore how creativity fuels progress, how human values anchor innovation, and how inspired thinking can transform classrooms, communities, and systems worldwide.

This is not just a conference.

It is a call to those who believe in and want to help reimagine education.

Join us where imagination meets impact. Where educators and parents stand side by side.

Where the future of learning begins-now.
