About the Event
Policy for the People and Partners for Patients are co-hosting The Education Policython. This policython is a global educational conference dedicated to improving educational equity and introducing students to policy writing. Over the course of 24 hours, students will team up to explore ideas on improving their local schools by diving into the issues that affect them, and then working with mentors to brainstorm solutions. This is in an efforts to get students started on crafting ideas centered around educational reform and related policies. Professionals of policy and academics, as well as public officials, will serve as our panel of judges. Towards the end of the policython, our judges will evaluate the policy writing pieces based on feasibility, evidence, and impact. We will end this event by encouraging participating teams to submit their policy ideas to relevant stakeholders/representatives.
