Unforgettable reflections and learnings: the future Pathways ISP conference in Bogotá

07-04-2025

What an extraordinary experience we had in the vibrant city of Bogotá! We had the honor of holding the first iSP Future Pathways leaders' conference, bringing together representatives from 11 countries. Colegio La Colina was the ideal setting for this inspiring meeting, which will surely remain in the memory of all the participants. And this was only possible thanks to the dedication, commitment and contagious energy of everyone involved.
 
The iSP Future Pathways Conference for school counselors was not just another event - it was a milestone. A space for collaborative learning, the exchange of real experiences and a deep connection with the common purpose of supporting our students. The 13 workshops held provided a true immersion in the best practices in education, uniting theory and practice in a unique and transformative way.
 
iSP Future Pathways is our commitment to student success, now and in the future. Through personalized initiatives, we offer support for students and their families to make well-informed decisions about their paths after school. The aim is to keep them up to date with trends in the world of work and careers, taking advantage of iSP's global network of experts to open up a range of possibilities.
The conference has been carefully designed to equip school counselors with strategies, knowledge and tools capable of empowering students at every stage of their academic journey. By combining Future Pathways actions with the learning from our Ethical Coexistence program, we offer young people the opportunity to develop more self-confidence and clarity about their career choices and interests.
 

It is impossible not to highlight the impact of this meeting on leaders, Marilda Bardal and Peter Rifaat, whose active participation reflected the spirit of the conference. For them, Bogotá represented more than a learning opportunity - it was a moment of real transformation. They came back with fresh ideas, a broader outlook and an even greater commitment to their teams and, above all, to our students. Inspired by the methodologies and innovations shared, they feel even better prepared to offer more opportunities and meaningful guidance to families.
 
What's more, the conference has given rise to a global network of practice, which transcends geographical and cultural boundaries. Each participant is now an active part of an international community connected by the purpose of growing, innovating and sharing knowledge. This continuous movement of collaboration is the true legacy of Bogotá.
 
We are extremely grateful to everyone who dedicated their time and energy to making this moment possible. Marilda and Peter are just two examples of the collective impact we built together. Now, each of us carries the responsibility - and the privilege - of keeping this transformative spirit alive and continuing to spread the lessons learned.
 
We'll be back soon, even more inspired, to continue strengthening this journey, with new resources and materials to support the continuity of Future Pathways. With gratitude and renewed enthusiasm, we continue together - stronger, more connected and better prepared for the future.
