Designing enlightED
On 17 June, 1 and 8 July, do not miss ‘Designing enlightED’, a new participative space for reflection and discussion where together with you we will be able to build the new enlightED2021 Hybrid Edition, our global conference on education, technology and innovation.
What are the challenges of an increasingly hybrid and personalised education? Will technology help accelerate the acquisition of new professional skills? How have entrepreneurship ecosystems changed this past year?
There will be two opportunities to join each of these 3 meetings: in a Discussion at the Espacio Fundación Telefónica with four expert guests that you can follow in person or on our YouTube channel; and in a digital collaboration laboratory where, organised into teams and online workrooms, we will share concerns, inspirations and lines of actions to design enlightED 2021 Hybrid Edition.
Beyond digitalisation in schools.
17 June, 17:00 (CEST).
Auditorio Espacio Fundación Telefónica (C/ Fuencarral 3, Madrid).
Digitalising education is the great challenge for schools in the 21st century, but it is far more than just about digitalising schools. Digitalisation involves both global and local transformation processes, where not only technology and connectivity are combined, but also digital skills, algorithms and personalised learning. Can technology give us the necessary tools to adapt to the needs of each of our students? Is the computer the great replacement for the school or an ally? Can technology breach the socio-economic divide in favour of educational success?
Innovate in higher education: priorities and new skills.
1 July, 17:00 (CEST).
Auditorio Espacio Fundación Telefónica (C/ Fuencarral 3, Madrid).
“Reskilling for the future of work”, “transformation and adaptation to change”, “fluid education in a hybrid environment”, the past year has left some concepts in universities that will transform them forever. The unstoppable process of the digitalisation of professions and universities highlights the need to update the skills that teachers impart and students learn. A university based on innovation and preparation of future professionals, researchers or thinkers able to decode the needs of a society in transformation and to include the most innovative practices of other segments such as Vocational Training.
The job challenge of continuous learning.
8 July, 17:00 (CEST).
Auditorio Espacio Fundación Telefónica (C/ Fuencarral 3, Madrid).
Neither the principal global entrepreneurship ecosystems nor the labour market are able to maintain the pace of the digital transformation. We live in a paradox of professional imbalance where the deficit to cover positions in new professions that require specialised digital skills starkly contrasts with the high levels of unemployment in other sectors. Can technology accelerate and improve professional skills or will it bring new demands that we will not be able to resolve with the current job learning and training model?
