Boardroom Dialogue Boardroom
From Learners to Leaders: Building Sustainable Learning & Work Ecosystems with Youth and Tech
Date Friday, Dec 5 Time – Room: Köpenick I
In a world shaped by AI and rapid technological change, youth must be empowered not just to learn, but to lead. Designed for the OEB 30 Under 30 and ecosystem leaders passionate about empowering the next generation, this boardroom dialogue brings together creative minds to co-create sustainable, tech-enabled ecosystems where youth and technology drive meaningful change. Participants will explore how collaboration, innovation, and shared purpose can bridge generations and connect education, employment, and entrepreneurship, building inclusive digital hubs, continuous learning pathways, and opportunities for young people to co-create the future of work and learning. Together, we’ll reimagine what it means to move from learners to leaders, shaping a just, adaptive, and regenerative future.
