Global Cities Education Network Public Forum

21st Century Skills in a Global Context

INTERESTED IN CURRENT DISCUSSIONS ON LEARNING & TEACHING?

The world is growing ever more interconnected - making it clear that understanding the world, its cultures, and economies is a critical reality for all young people.

• How do education systems, teachers, and parents prepare youth to understand and make critical choices in this fluid and complex world?

• What is the responsibility of cities, leaders, and partners in this endeavour?

Join education experts from around the world to explore how their systems are tackling these issues and what they’re learning from one another.

This Public Forum is held in conjunction with the GCEN London Symposium on October 31 – November 2, 2016 and is hosted by the University College London, Institute of Education.
