Purpose comes from a journey of discovery, knowing one’s place in the world, and understanding what problems one could solve. There is a strong link between problem solving and storytelling, as every story presents a context, problem, and solution. How do we then use this framework to enable students to solve authentic problems, helping them understand the value and relevance of what they are learning instead of simply going through the motions?


In this session, educators will explore how real-world experiences empower students to develop their purpose. OWN Academy founder and CEO Natalie Chan will share OWN’s journey as a real-world experience platform committed to helping learners unlock their full potential. Discover how OWN works with industry professionals and gives employers the opportunity to take on educator roles, bridging the education to employment gap and shaping a new generation of purpose-driven problem solvers.
