Panel discussion: Education and mental health in challenging times

On 7 October 2021, the Yidan Prize Foundation, the University of Cambridge (the REAL Centre at the Faculty of Education, and the Intellectual Forum at Jesus College) and CAMFED (the Campaign for Female Education) co-hosted a conference at Jesus College to spotlight the work of the Yidan Prize community towards creating an equitable future through education.

This conference brought together global policymakers, educationalists, business leaders, foundation heads, leading academics, and activists. The event had a strong focus on the global challenges facing education today, considering the inequalities exposed by the pandemic and the disruption exacerbated by climate change, which disproportionately affects women and girls. We shone a spotlight on the efforts and partnerships required to find solutions in reaching the most marginalised young people and in re-imagining quality education for all.
