EVENT: Coearth Conclave 2.0 Kerala | 25 July, 2026
Join Coearth Conclave 2.0 on 25 July 2026 in Calicut — 5 expert speakers, keynotes, interactive dialogue & a guided walkthrough at an award-winning school.
Coearth Conclave 2.0: Schools — Places to Be, Places to Become
A conclave on education, architecture, and the spaces we raise children in — 5 expert speakers, one 90-minute conversation, at an award-winning government school in Calicut, Kerala.
What Is Coearth Conclave 2.0?
Coearth Conclave 2.0 is an offstage Panel-Gate discussion — part panel, part open dialogue — bringing together five respected voices from architecture and education to explore one theme:
Education, School Buildings & Their Impact on Each Other.
Hosted by the Coearth Foundation, it’s built on a simple premise — that good education and good school design cannot be discussed apart from one another. It’s open to anyone with a stake in how children learn: educators, architects, school leaders, parents, or the simply curious.
Why Educational Spaces Matter
Schools shape far more than learning outcomes. They shape behaviour, wellbeing, relationships, creativity, and a sense of belonging.
Coearth Conclave 2.0 takes a close look at how educational spaces can better serve the aspirations of the students, educators, and communities who inhabit them every day.
The Questions at the Heart of the Conclave
What is the purpose of an education and of a school building?
What kind of places do we want our schools to be, and what should it feel like to be in one?
What values and culture are we nourishing in our educational spaces?
How does pedagogy shape the building and how does the building shape pedagogy?
What kind of environments do we want to raise our children in, and what kind of citizens are our schools trying to create?
What is the future of our children, and the future of our schools?
Key Discussion Themes
Learning & Environment — How physical space influences attention, engagement, and the way children actually learn.
Wellbeing & Inclusion — Designing schools that support safety, belonging, and growth for every child.
