Summit Stories

In ancient Roman timekeeping, midnight was halfway between sunset and sunrise, varying according to the seasons.

Long ago, when the world as we knew it was still young, there were said to be 4 mythical dragons, each wielding a different elemental power: Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire. As the Earth’s creators, their destiny was to keep it in balance for all time—until the Fire Dragon Rallix, with a ravenous appetite for power, revolted against his brethren in an attempt to establish dominion over the world, leaving only the Earth’s humans to defend it. These brave warriors, otherwise known as Knights, were all sent to challenge Rallix, only to fall, one after another, until one legendary Knight known as The Black Knight sealed him away, imprisoning him in the fiery depths of the Underworld. Now, 1,000 years later, Rallix threatens to break this seal and begin his reign over the world once more, leaving only three modern-day children to stand against him, a 15-year-old boy named David Levinne, his older brother Kevin, and his younger sister Zoey, for destiny has chosen them to defend the Earth against Rallix’s vengeful tyranny, just as the Black Knight did 1,000 years ago.

(The name isn't permanent, but I didn't have any other ideas. Onto my description:) Nea Quill has been a cheerleader for almost ten years, starting when she was just five years old. But when she moves from Orlando to boring Pennsylvania, how come she can't seem to find her passion in cheer again? Now she's trying hard to get a Summit bid, to get back to Orlando and her friends and her greatest passion. But her team isn't the greatest and she's really not sure they'll get a bid. This is all so new to her and she doesn't know what to do. Meanwhile, Emma Fisher is just happy to have a sister. Years in a big house, her only escape was cheer and she wasn't even good at that. So when she meets Nea, a champion and her new sister, she's ecstatic. So how can she not feel hurt when all Nea wants to do is get back to Orlando? It's hard for both girls, not that they'd say it. But now, like every cheer team, they have to work together- to be sisters- and win.

Global education is undergoing a profound geopolitical shift as the Global South, led by India, reshapes learning systems once dominated by the West. At the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro (July 2025), a major realignment unfolded: a shared commitment to ethical AI in education and cross-border vocational collaboration. For India, this marked a transition from a participant to a co-creator of global frameworks. This shift builds on groundwork from Brasília, where BRICS ministers agreed that AI must be accessible, equitable, and empowering. These principles align with India's National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which introduced multidisciplinary learning, vocational flexibility, and digital platforms like DIKSHA and SWAYAM. At Rio, India positioned AI as a multiplier to bridge teacher shortages, language barriers, and infrastructure gaps through adaptive learning and real-time translation. Education was reframed as a shared economic foundation rather than a privilege. The formation of the BRICS Technical and Vocational Education Alliance is equally significant. By enabling curriculum alignment and cross-border recognition of qualifications, it opens new pathways for Indian learners and challenges Euro-American dominance in education standards. India is redefining its role from a service provider to a producer of intellectual capital, with institutions shaping research and pedagogy through the BRICS Network University. Education has become a tool of strategic influence. Brand Thinking in a Changing Knowledge Economy As systems of learning evolve, so must the way institutions and organisations define themselves. ABND explores how global shifts like BRICS-led education reform influence identity, positioning, and long-term relevance. Through Brand Strategy, Brand Positioning, Brand Architecture, Brand Naming, Brand Identity, Corporate Branding, Digital Services, Brand Logos, and Brand Building, ABND helps organisations translate complexity into clarity.
