Cultivating Changemakers : A Global Conversation on the Future of Education

African Leadership Academy and Amjad Bashir, MEP, ask that you join us on 6 February 2019 at the European Parliament in Brussels for a Conversation on the Future of Education.
 
Many of today’s education models fail to equip young people with the skills required to become thoughtful and impactful leaders who can face the challenges of the modern world and work collaboratively to make the world a better place. Traditional models focus on facts, rote learning and exam success, as opposed to a comprehensive understanding of the modern world and the skills needed to become effective leaders. This one day conference will bring together global education innovators who are boldly reimagining leadership education and have implemented a number of successful models across the world. Speakers include Lai Cheng Lim, former head of the prestigious Raffles Institution in Singapore and currently the Executive Director of the Future Skills Initiative at Singapore Managment University; Tony Wagner, one of the world’s foremost experts on the future of education and the bestselling author of The Global Achievement Gap and Creating Innovators; David Sengeh, Chief Innovation Officer in the Government of Sierra Leone and globally recognized for his work and accomplishments in the field of human augmentation; and Chris Bradford, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of African Leadership Academy, among many others.
 
We hope you will be able to join us for the day, participate in the conversation, and help to move this important work forward.
