REPLAY: Education in Africa, Why Bother? | So They Can Panel Discussion in Sydney, 31 July 2025

Last month our inaugural Q&A panel event, ‘Education in Africa, Why Bother?’ took place, kindly hosted by the Macquarie Group in Sydney. Our wonderful ambassador, Peter Overton was the presenter for the event, leading an insightful and thought-provoking discussion on the significance of investing in international development, and its impact on the global economy and the future of humanity. The key takeaway? We all have the power to make meaningful change and empower the next generation through education. Thank you to Sam Kennard from Kennards Self Storage and the Macquarie Foundation for matching all donations made by our attendees on the day — raising a total of $93,000. Couldn't make it to the event? Watch the recording of the conversation now. Given the success of this event, we have more of these planned very soon, taking place in cities around the world.
