Doha, Qatar: Aspire Academy successfully organised and hosted the fourth edition of its ‘Aspire For Education’ conference. This year’s theme was ‘Well-being in Education,’ which brought together participants from Qatar, the Gulf region, and beyond, reinforcing its position as a key platform in shaping the future of education.

The two-day event included keynote addresses from notable figures in the education sector, such as Chairperson and Founder of Well-being and Career Development H E Sheikha Dr. Hessa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani. Additionally, there were engaging panel discussions addressing current challenges, along with practical workshops aimed at incorporating psychological and social well-being concepts into educational curricula and environments.

Among the attendees were Qatar’s Former Minister of Energy and Industry H E Mohamed Al Sada, Director General of Aspire Academy Ivan Bravo, and Acting Director General of Aspetar Khaled Al Mawlawi. In his address, Chairman of the ‘Aspire For Education’ Conference Jassem Al Jaber (pictured) noted that the conference seeks to establish holistic and educational values that restore the true essence of education.

“Education is more than just transferring knowledge or developing skills; it is about nurturing the mind and body while strengthening the soul and spirit within the individual,” he said.

He added that Aspire Academy has long affirmed that prioritising well-being in education and addressing the psychological, physical, and social needs of student-athletes and educators is crucial for achieving a balanced approach.
