THE CORNERSTONE

Welcome to THE CORNERSTONE

The Future Shaped Without Students, Will Not Work for Students.

The Cornerstone is a student-centered conference built around a series of panel discussions that bring together students, educators, policymakers, and leaders to reflect on the future of education in the age of artificial intelligence. The conference creates a space where student voices meet experience and leadership to discuss how AI is shaping education, global order, creative industry, and environmental responsibility.

Held in the spirit of Hari Pendidikan Nasional and marking EduALL’s 10-year journey, The Cornerstone reflects EduALL’s commitment to educational impact and inclusion. In collaboration with Indonesia Mengajar, the conference also serves as a fundraising platform to support access to quality education in remote and underserved regions across Indonesia.
