More than 200 speakers in 150 sessions will throw light on the future of education and the behaviors, skills and traits in World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE) scheduled to be held in November next month, said spokesperson for WISE.
We must unlearn and relearn in order to flourish in the 21st century. Over 2,000 educators, decision-makers, and experts from over 100 countries will gather in Doha next month around the theme “UnLearn, ReLearn: What it means to be Human” on October 21, 2019.
Should schools teach students how to be happy? Will artificial intelligence make teachers obsolete? Should schools get rid of grading systems?
These questions will be at the heart of the discussions at next month’s World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE), where we will reimagine the future of education around the theme “UnLearn, ReLearn: What it means to be Human”.
In the context of a rapidly evolving world with exponential technological changes, it’s time to rethink what makes us uniquely human. Stavros Yiannouka, WISE CEO, states: “In education, we naturally focus on what we should learn. We also think there’s an important role to play in unlearning. We should challenge some of our assumptions about the way we live, the way we work, and the way we interact with each other.”
From discussing how to relearn the emotional skills we need in order to learn, to debating whether well-being should be taught in schools, to uncovering global ed-tech trends and their impact on innovation, WISE 2019 will address the pressing issues and current trends facing education.
