In this day of digitalization and globalization, children and youth are faced with unprecedented opportunities as well as challenges. Culture and education are closely related. Multicultural education encompasses practices and theories that enhance the holistic development of children. The work of teachers, educationalists, and school psychologists requires pushing the limits of their creative and intellectual capabilities.

We have evidence that during the pandemic youth were having difficulties in coping with challenges. Youth are our hope, and they are the leaders of tomorrow. Evidence-based approaches and state-of-the-art strategies need to be aligned with the diverse needs of children and other stakeholders. At this juncture, Assumption University of Thailand is hosting the 6^th APSPA International Conference 2024 on ‘Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Human Development and Learning: Navigating the Nexus of Education, Psychology, Business, Language and Philosophy’ November 28 – 30, 2024 in association with the Asia Pacific School Psychology Association.

The deliberations of this conference will provide a platform for various academic discourse that enrich academia and fill the gap in existing research avenues. The conference also aims to provide training and workshops for school children in the Asia Pacific Region. I welcome APSPA members and all the participants a warm welcome. I warmly welcome all APSPA members and participants and sincerely hope that this conference will serve as a platform for collaboration and knowledge.
