Future ED Summit

Why do we need a future education summit?

The world as we know it is in a state of ever changing complexity. As educational entrepreneurs we have the power to design programs with the tools, mindsets and competencies needed to empower future generations of change-makers. 

At the Future ED Summit, we aim at strengthening you as an educational leader within your abilities in critical thinking, creative confidence, collaboration, innovative pedagogies and other life skills crucial in order to practice creative and meaningful leadership within your team and organization.

You will exchange and co-create with 50+ other educational entrepreneurs what the future of education could look like.

The framework for this exploration will be at the pioneering Bridges Academy in Cape Town co-hosted by Kaospilot, Danish school of creative leadership and meaningful entrepreneurship.
