Shape the education of tomorrow!
Effective education is crucial for skills development and a smooth transition into employment as well as individual and social prosperity. Weaknesses can easily have an impact on our society in terms of social mobility and social gaps including the digital divide, urban and rural access to opportunities, and the exclusion of disadvantaged groups.
Technological advancements are resulting in rapid changes to the tools and content of modern education. It is essential to include digitalization in the education process while ensuring equal access and opportunities.
Connect with driven young people from Europe and Canada and develop ideas for our future on the topic of “Education"! Discuss how technological advancements are changing our understanding of education and how we can use digitality to build an effective education system that makes our society more inclusive!
Your opinion matters! All outcomes will be shared with European and Canadian policymakers to make sure your voice is heard.
Take part in an exceptional experience!
