Roadmaps to thriving societies

Social stratification, migration, multiculturalism and changing demographics are transforming today’s societies. Skills are essential in adapting to this increasingly complex reality. Not only do skills provide equal access to opportunities to those who are marginalized, but they also enable people to fulfill their potential and nurture their talents, passions and impact. This track explores how skills can build a world where happy, tolerant and equal global citizens coexist and collaborate through skills-based solutions.

Towards self-sustaining ecosystems

As environmental concerns continue to shake our societies, the promotion of green skills should be at the heart of the skills agenda. Young skilled people will have a pivotal role to play in the design and use of technologies and solutions for a positive environmental footprint. This track explores ways to train the next generation for “green collar jobs” that will in turn, translate to a greener and more circular economy.
