Sydney Rotary - Beyond Classrooms: The Power of Non-Formal Education

Join us for an inspiring and thought-provoking talk by Peter Kaye AM ESM, CEO of The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award – Australia, and a former international corporate governance consultant, as he explores the transformative power of non-formal education.

Non-formal education isn’t just about certificates and credentials—it’s about equipping people with life skills, confidence, and resilience. Through non-formal education frameworks like The Duke of Ed, young people are encouraged to step out of their comfort zones, engage in meaningful service, and develop leadership, teamwork, and a sense of community.

While digital verification and micro-credentials offer new ways to recognise these achievements, the heart of non-formal education remains its ability to foster personal growth and make a positive impact on society.

This is an unmissable opportunity to learn about the role of non-formal education in shaping future leaders and building a better society and how employers need to be better recognising non-formal education in their recruitment. Join us as we delve into the exciting potential of recognising and valuing learning that happens beyond the classroom!
