Programme details
By 2050, we hypothesize that the existing school education system will no longer exist, and instead, a flexible educational framework will emerge, allowing individuals to actively choose what and how they truly want to learn and play. To explore ideas for realization of this future, we will host a panel dialogue. The panel will feature global young leaders under the age of 30 who are active in the field of education. The discussion will focus on the theme of "The Future of Education in 2050," considering the role of learning and play in the AI era. One of the panelists will be a current high school student with a role in a school management as a board member, sharing insights from the perspective of a learner in the education system. In the latter part of the session, we will divide attendees into small groups for discussions on the theme "The Future of Education in 2050."
