EdHeroes: How addressing social issues helps child development
JAKARTA, Indonesia, May 24, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

EdHeroes just hosted their most recent event - the EdHeroes Forum 
Australia+Indonesia Chapter!

EdHeroes had previously hosted their forums in Indonesia and Malaysia and now 
they made their way to Australia! The EdHeroes Network [ 
https://edheroes.network/ ] unites over 61,000 supporters, hosts global and 
regional events and advocates to provide universal access to quality education!
Some of their partners are: the World Bank Group, UNESCO IITE, Teach For All, 
Wolfram, Educate Girls, Queen Rania Teacher Academy and more. During this 
forum, over 14,000 people from 83 countries participated and 15 speakers from 5 
countries spoke about global issues.

The forum featured Airlangga Hartanto, the Coordinating Minister for Economic 
Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, Harold Lucero, Founder of Lucsan, 
Fintech, DAO/DeFi Innovation Australia, Cecilia Vaca Jones, the Executive 
Director of the Bernard van Leer Foundation and a member of the EdHeroes 
Advisory Board, and Putri Kus Wisnu Wardani, Member of the Presidential 
Advisory Council of the Republic of Indonesia.

Airlangga Hartanto spoke about Indonesia's government resolutions to address 
climate change, which lead to Cecilia Vaca Jones' discussion of the effects 
pollution has on child development. Cecilia addressed parents and educators 
saying: "we are trying to create a good start for children", which is impeded 
by the environmental crisis. Both speakers addressed a similar issue and 
provided solutions each person could implement to improve our world and ensure 
healthy development for children.

The discussion was picked up by Putri Kus Wisnu Wardani who emphasized the 
importance of social activism and the immense impact every person can make. The 
session was closed off by Harold Lucero talking about digital competency. He 
elaborated on the implications of the metaverse and the infinite possibilities 
it presents to provide accessible high-quality education worldwide.

The main session of the forum consisted of two discussions titled "Family 
Education and Mental Health" and "Practicing Democracy and Strengthening Social 
Activism". Both sessions featured professionals from different parts of the 
world who shared their insight and experience as well as provided useful tips 
în each of the topics.
