Learn how you can reshape education

Education is in a state of flux like never before. After a year of disruptions, it feels more timely than ever for us to reimagine what the future of education could and should look like.

Reflect on education today and how it affects you

On the course, experts will provide an overview of the current education landscape and pose critical questions to explore the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. What role can technology play in enabling a more inclusive and participatory education?

You’ll also be invited to reflect on your own educational journey to discover what proactive role you can play in changing the future of education.
