VIEW EVENT DETAILSCurrent Discussions on Learning and 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 endeavor?
