It is both a privilege and a heartfelt joy to welcome you to the 3rd International Conference on “Reshaping Education for Sustainable Development,” organized by the University of Rwanda – College of Education in collaboration with the LIT Project.

As the College of Education, we have dared to challenge ourselves with a bold and ambitious commitment—to nurture a culture of hosting an international conference every year. This is not a small undertaking. It requires tireless effort, resourcefulness, and at times, a great deal of sacrifice.

This year, our journey to bring this conference to life has not been without its hurdles. Logistical challenges emerged, and they undoubtedly slowed down the usual high momentum of our communication and operations.

But thanks to the steadfast support of the University leadership and the unwavering dedication of the LIT Project management and overall conference organisation team, we were able to troubleshoot bottlenecks, recalibrate our efforts, and forge a clear path forward.

We are aware that these delays may have caused inconveniences to some of our valued presenters, guests, and partners, and for that, we express our sincere apologies.

We also extend our deep gratitude for your patience, understanding, and unwavering belief in the vision of this conference.

Today, I am proud to say that our dream of hosting an enriching, continued annual conference is very much alive—and this year, it comes with new features designed to take us even further.

These include (but are not limited to) creating a sustainable scholarly network, where ideas are not only exchanged but cultivated into future collaborative projects and opportunities. Let us take these next three days to reflect, to share, to challenge one another, and to build lasting partnerships.

As the College of Education, we remain committed to learning with you and from you—and to making this annual gathering a cornerstone of our academic calendar.

Thank you for being here. Welcome once again, and I wish you a fruitful and memorable conference.
