Knowledge Xchange in association with XLRI, Jamshedpur, is organizing an international seminar titled ‘Delearn to Relearn’ - ‘Redefining the Architecture of Education’, on Saturday the 12th of May 2007 at Taj Coromandel, Chennai.

Knowledge Xchange is an independent, non-profit organization founded by a group of like minded people dedicated to evolving innovative knowledge, theories, models and ideas in pedagogy and content of teaching and learning, that promotes excellence and quality in the field of education.

The aim of this Seminar is to suggest new ways of learning - teaching and how these ways could be realized in our educational institutions.

Mr. Sam Pitroda, Chairman, National Knowledge Commission, India, would deliver the Inaugural address, other eminent speakers include, Mr. Sachin Pilot, Member of Parliament, Mr. Bhaskar Das, Executive President, The Times Group, Dr. Paul Chan, President, HELP University College, (Malaysia). Rev Fr Casimir Raj S J, Director , XLRI, Mr. G. Gautama, Principal, The School KFI, Mr. Sridhar Rajagopal, Managing Director, Educational Initiatives, Prof. D K Subramanian, President, Foundation for Advancement of Education & Research, Mr. Dilip Ranjekar, CEO, Azim Premji Foundation, Mr. Atul Parvatiyar, President & CEO, Institute for Customer Relationship Management, USA, Ms. Chitra Ramakrishna, Deputy Managing Director, National Stock Exchange, Dr. A. Raman, Charles Stuart University, Australia and Mr. Sarat Babu, CEO, Food King Catering Services. These thought leaders would deliberate on the following issues:

  • Competition: are children being denied their childhood.

  • Mapping the format of education.

  • Motivation & punishment.

  • Wide gaps - developing capabilities for employability.

  • Brilliance Vs burnout.

  • Locking in values.

  • Thinking big - entrepreneurship.

  • Stress out factor Vs success factor.

After each session there would be enough time for open session to clarify thoughts and conflicts.

This seminar would be of significant learning and hence I write to invite you as the Head of one of the premier educational Institutions to participate (no seminar fee) at the seminar.

We look forward to your participation

Sincerely,

V A George
Chairman
