Join the UNESCO-MOST BRIDGES Coalition, World Academy of Art and Science, ASU Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory and other consortium partners from this year's Summit of the Future event 'From Idea to Action and Impact' at the 7th International Conference on Future Education in an online/hybrid event, Wednesday 11 December, 2024.
This special session invites conversation and input on specific targets and goals negotiated by UN Member States in the Summit of the Future (SoTF) outcome documents: the Pact for the Future, the Global Digital Compact and the Declaration on Future Generations. The session will address what needs to be learned and what modalities need to be realized at different societal and governance scales in order to achieve the social transformations affirmed in SoTF as necessary for future generations to inherit a peaceful and flourishing world.
Learning is not just about individual improvement or study, nor is it exclusively the province of formal educational institutions; it is the process through which people, communities and societies acquire, refine, and apply knowledge, skills, values and experiences collectively over the course of individual lifetimes and across generations, including those not yet born.
A major focus of this session will be on the key recommendation of the BRIDGES Coalition’s SoTF side event: Promote the development and democratization of Higher Education, Innovation and Research/Sciences (including humanities, social sciences, arts and traditional/non-academic knowledge domains, in addition to STEM and applied technical disciplines) as crucial to building sufficient knowledge and action capacities and necessary for wide-scale implementation in societies.
