From Theory to Practice – Lessons from WISE Awards Winning Innovators

Last time on WISE On Air we were joined by three 2022 WISE Awards Winning Project holders, Janhvi Kanoria, Susan Mtana, and Tyler Samstag. We brought these innovators on the show because we’re looking to decipher what does it take to unlock the potential of great ideas to transform education.

In a rapidly evolving world, it can be argued that traditional education models are being constantly disrupted with the advent of new technological breakthroughs. In 2023 alone we’re seeing massive strides with A.I. and machine learning for example. In fact, according to a report by HolonIQ, the global education market is estimated to reach $10 trillion by 2030, with a growing number of startups and investors seeking to revolutionize the sector.

As we navigate these changes, it’s important to understand what sets successful education initiatives apart. What can we learn from the ones that have made a real impact? In this second part episode, we’ll dive into some of the groundbreaking solutions that are reshaping education in different contexts around the world.

Following our conversation last time with Janhvi, Susan and Tyler, joining us are the other three 2022 WISE Awards Winning innovators Daniela Labra of Mexico-based project Educating for Wellbeing by AtentaMente, Andrew McCusker of Chicago-based project Opportunity EduFinance by Opportunity International, and Kuldeep Dantewadia of India-based project Climate Change Problem Solvers by Reap Benefit.

Together with WISE Awards program manager, Niamh Whelan, we discussed:

– The ‘eureka’ moment when creating their projects
– Balancing important stakeholders from beneficiaries to partnerships
– Key challenges they faced and how they overcame them
– And key lessons for other innovators looking to make change in the
education space.
