A Global Affair
International Day of Education
24 January, Tuesday – LEARNING PLANETIZENS UNITE! ✊
Gathering and harnessing planetary ambitions to transform education and create new learning narratives. On this day we celebrate our shift from citizens to Planetizens, and unite to address our 21st century priorities. With a firm focus on vision & enablement, A-list speakers and experts from a range of disciplines (not education only) will share their ideas and best practices on how we can transform and use learning and education
Transforming Education
25 January, Wednesday – Transforming Education Action Track ⚙️
Following the Transforming Education Summit, spanning K-12 to higher education, and including vocational training and lifelong learning, this is where our focus includes redefining learning priorities, assessment of success, teachers & students’ interactions, new pedagogies, new ways of doing research, interdisciplinarity, emerging jobs, and all aspects of equipping learners to have a meaningful impact in the world. This is also where education and the environment meet.
Learning Society
26 January, Thursday – The Learning Society Action Track 💡
Transforming learning for our rapidly changing and complex society calls for inputs from a broad range of stakeholders. This is where our social innovators, on-the-ground pioneers, learning ecosystems and cities, as well as those supporting learning in adverse environments (conflict zones, climate disaster regions, refugee camps, …) come to design, implement, scale, train and share their work. This is also where education and equity meet and we focus on learning to take care of each other.
Future Action
27 January, Friday – The Future Action Track
🔮
Exploring future learning spaces, tools and techniques, this is where we activate our vision and imagination to ask how new technologies and platforms, as well as CivicTech and EdTech, can support us and our learning planet. In the new era of Web3, VR, DAO, and ever more data, we consider the opportunities and challenges ahead. This is where education also meets well-being, and it is where we examine the ethics and standards needed to create safe and healthy digital learning environments.
Learning Planet United
28 January, Saturday – Planetizens Take the Stage 🌐
The Stage is for all panetizens! This day is focused on continuing to encourage more people, especially youth, to become game changers, code and mould breakers through creating many onsite and online opportunities to meet with peers and pioneers, experiment new ways of learning, listen to inspiring stories and role models. The 28th also offers an opportunity to launch new initiatives and present achievements on the main festival deliveries.
