This year the student-oriented conference will be held at the Sharjah Higher Colleges of Technology and is part of a week of educational celebrations and activities hosted by the HCT to mark the milestone in its short history.
Under the main theme of Bridging the Gap Innovative Solutions to Global Educational Challenges, the EWB 2013 special edition will continue with the initiatives of the student-oriented conference, which started in 2001, by facilitating a group of international and Emirati student delegates, together with a team of experienced mentors, considering novel and innovative ways in which to ensure education is available for all communities around the globe.
HCT Vice Chancellor and EWB Chairman Dr Tayeb Kamali, said there was always a great deal of excitement and anticipation with the long-standing international student conference. “We are all looking forward to hosting sustained thought-provoking discussions and debates, interesting and relevant presentations and the creation of lasting networks of like-minded people, young and old, all aiming for a better world to live in,” he said.
Dr. Tayeb Kamali said the biennial EWB conference had grown rapidly since its humble beginnings in 2001. “As we celebrate another milestone event in the HCT’s 25th anniversary this year, it is opportune to recognize that the conference has grown to become one of the world’s foremost student-organized forums’ an event where students from around the world, and from different backgrounds, join as one voice to pursue Innovative Solutions to Global Educational Challenges,” he added.
