The forum hosted keynotes, case study presentations and panel discussions with various local, regional and international stakeholders in the education community.

On the first day of the conference, Prof. Christopher Abraham, Professor and Head of Campus (Dubai), SP Jain Global, participated in a panel discussion on ‘Student Success and Well-Being in Dubai - Panel of Institutions’ chaired by Dr. Warren Fox, Board Member; Advisor to the Chairman of the Board of Directors for Higher Education, KHDA. Leaders from top Dubai-based institutions were invited to reflect on student diversity, success and well-being.

The next day, Dan Way Ng, second year BBA student, represented SP Jain Global as a student ambassador on a panel titled ‘Student Success and Well-Being - Panel of Students from Dubai and Beyond’ chaired by Amy Walker, Speaker and Writer on Student Well-Being. The panel comprised 8 young panellists from diverse international universities.

During the panel discussion, Dan highlighted three important support systems for students’ overall well-being: “I’ve learnt that a student’s upbringing, the school and the government play an important role in improving students’ well-being. Cultural factors, too, have a lot of influence in determining a student’s well-being.”
