Theme 2024

Brace for Transformation:
The Courage to Redefine Learning

In an era defined by climate change, global conflicts, and democracies under pressure, the roles of learning and education are increasingly vital. Education, historically a foundation of hope and progress, now faces the challenge of staying relevant and effective in a rapidly changing world. This situation highlights the urgency for a significant shift in our approach to learning, moving towards an anti-fragile mindset where we not only withstand but also grow stronger from the challenges and changes we face.
