Over two evenings, you'll engage in high-level thought experiments and collective scenario-building to:

  • 🔍 Uncover the real challenges in preparing youth for what's ahead

  • 🛠️ Map out actionable frameworks for schools and systems

  • 📝 Co-author a white paper that informs practice across continents

Because it’s time we stopped asking if education is broken. And started designing what works.
