Organised by Pico, EDUCA 2019 has as its keyword “The Power of Learning Communication”.  Silchai Kiatpapan, Pico’s chief executive says he sees teachers as the guiding light for students who hold future of the country in their hands and bills the event as an important venue for all expert teachers to meet and share their views and practices.
The highlight of the event is the 7th International Conference of School Learning Community 2019 where lecturers from many countries, among them Manabu Sato, a Japanese professor who introduced the School as a Learning Community (SLC) approach, exchange their expertise. The SLC programme started in Japan before expanding to South Korea, China, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, Mexico, Vietnam and Thailand and has led to an educational network called The International Network for School as Learning Community. It focuses on three approaches, educational philosophy, democracy and excellence, and promotes collaborative learning in the classroom, collegiality in the staff room and learning participation by parents. 
Other activities include a workshop facilitated by a school principal from New Zealand on the topic of “Unlock Your Potential and Leadership to Empower Learning Community” and educational seminars about 21st Century Skills, Psychology, Curriculum & Pedagogy, and ICT.
