The Coalition to Honour All Learning Conference

Representing over 100 000 students in national, independent and international systems

The "Coalition to Honour All Learning" is a federation of schools across the world representing more than 100 000 students in national, independent and international systems that aims to influence the discussion on school leaving certificates to recognise the whole person. 

The Coalition will meet to continue its work on the way we are celebrating and curating student competences, ensuring that it reflects context and offers a richer narrative than grades alone.

The conference will take place at La Grande Boissière International School of Geneva on Saturday, the 22nd of March. Teachers, researchers and actors in the education field are welcome to participate, exchange and contribute to the common efforts towards a more holistic learning and recognition of learning through reforming of end school certificates.
