Joining the roster of distinguished speakers for the 3rd International Conference & 24th National Convention of APNIEVE Philippines is Mr. James S. Clarke, an independent transdisciplinary researcher based in Sydney, Australia, whose pioneering work bridges science, creativity, and human development.
He holds degrees in Architecture (University of New South Wales), Regional and Urban Planning (University of South Australia), and a Master’s in Gifted Education (Flinders University)—reflecting a rich academic foundation that fuels his innovative thinking.
For over 30 years, Mr. Clarke has pursued a groundbreaking research journey reimagining how creative inquiry can reveal the hidden beauty and unity of nature. His work famously reframed the Periodic Table into a unified eightfold system, which later evolved into The Eight Pillars of Learning—an expanded and visionary model inspired by UNESCO’s Four Pillars of Learning, offering a transformative framework for values-driven and holistic education.
Hear Mr. Clarke share his insights at the APNIEVE 3rd International Conference & 24th National Convention, co-presented by the City College of Cagayan de Oro, happening November 21–23, 2025 in Liceo de Cagayan University and online via Zoom.
