">It is with great pleasure that I invite you to join us for our 3rd annual General Assembly entitled <strong>"Persuading to Scale: growing billions of great learners with powerful innovations,"</strong> from September 26th to the 29th, 2011 at th<span style=" background-color: rgb(255,255,255);

">The evidence is clear that traditional education systems around the world are failing to meet the basic learning requirements of our children. Although thousands of learning innovations are being promoted across the globe today, even the most effective can be permanently sidelined by cultural differences, financial, technical, and political barriers. Our challenge then is to help public, private and community leaders bring to scale a mix of cost-effective learning innovations so all of our children can learn to create healthier and more sustainable societies in the 21st Century.</span></span></span></p> <p style=" color: rgb(0,0,0);

"> <span style><span><span style=" font-size: 12.0px;
">OLE's 2011 General Assembly will tackle this challenge during an intensive, 4-day experience centered on the question of how to bring great learning innovations to scale. Brief "trailers" by accomplished educational innovators will stimulate focused round-table discussions along with informative poster sessions, skill-based workshops and self-organized meetings. Participants will emerge from the General Assembly with a greater understanding of what it takes to scale learning innovations, leaving with more skills to make those things happen.</span></span></span></p> <p style=" color: rgb(0,0,0);
