KUALA LUMPUR The annual Iskandar Learning Festival (ILF) is back for the third year, held till tomorrow.
The event is jointly organised by Iskandar Regional Development Authority in partnership with social enterprise ILFPro and The Iskandarian newspaper. It is held at two main venues — the Iskandar Malaysia Information Centre at Danga Bay and the JBPAC Black Box and White Box at level 4M of Danga City Mall.
ILF strives to provide everyone an access to world-class learning and content free-of-charge to encourage participants to pursue excellence. It also aims to promote continuous learning and global understanding of cross-cultural and inter-generational exchange.
The idea for this unique project was mooted when stakeholders from public and private sectors in Johor Baru met in 2011 for a 2-day workshop to help develop the Iskandar Malaysia Sustainability Framework model, a look at social responsibility works in Iskandar Malaysia.
As a result, six collaborative projects were identified One of the six collaborative projects is the ILF.
The ILF 2014 schedule comprises interesting programmes with various seminars, workshops and forums organised for a wide spectrum of people.
One of the facilitators invited is Lim Teck Hoe, the 2002 World Memory Champion, Names & Faces Event Silver Medalist who will facilitate the Managing Memory for Professionals module. Women entrepreneurs can also look forward to a full day workshop in Creativity and Innovation for Women Entrepreneurs organised by the Malaysian Association of Creativity & Innovation.
