Thank You for Making the 2025 IC3 Regional Forums a Global Force for Change

• 31 July 2025
It is a beautiful thing when educators, institutions, and communities pause to ask: Are we doing enough to guide our students toward purposeful lives? That question is at the heart of the IC3 Movement. And this year, through the 2025 IC3 Regional Forums, it was answered with resounding clarity in classrooms and campuses across 14 countries. With immense gratitude, we reflect on this incredible journey that brought together over 2,600 participants across 32 cities across the world. More than 642,000 students were directly impacted through forums held at host schools that generously opened their doors, minds, and hearts to the mission of IC3: counseling in every school, purpose to every child.

At the IC3 Movement, we meet students who are trying to make sense of this complexity every day. As educators, parents, and counselors, we need to understand how global instability impacts young minds and how we can support them in finding agency and purpose despite the noise.
