About Forbes Talks x ISP

A truly inspiring event organised by Forbes in collaboration with ISP Iberia Schools, the gathering brought together students, educators and thought leaders to reflect on how we learn, grow and shape our future.

One of the leading voices of the day was neuroscientist Nazareth Castellanos, who encouraged attendees to rethink the idea of a “linear” career path. During her talk, she highlighted the importance of attention, emotional balance and physical wellbeing as key elements for effective learning and conscious decision-making, reminding us that education extends far beyond academic achievement.

Lady Elizabeth School Students Take Part

We are especially proud of our students Lola S. and Yuexin, who not only attended the event but also played an active role in the discussion.

Lola. and Yuexin, students from Lady Elizabeth School, represented our school community with confidence and curiosity. During the discussion, Lola asked a question about the importance of sleep, which led to an insightful reflection from Nazareth Castellanos. She explained how sleep plays a fundamental role in brain health by helping to remove waste and consolidate memories in the hippocampus, which is why getting proper rest is especially important before an exam.
