Boardroom Dialogue
Digital Education Ideas and Innovations for Building Sustainable Societies during the European Year of Skills
Date Thursday, Nov 23 Time – Room Bishop
Amid the Gen AI revolution, there is a risk that teaching professionals and decision makers may overlook the climate emergency.
The European Training Foundation (ETF), as part of the European Year of Skills, is collaborating with partners in EU neighbouring countries to explore digital education approaches and tools that can facilitate the transition to greener and more inclusive societies.
In this Boardroom Dialogue, the European Training Foundation (ETF) and ITCILO will discuss collaboration opportunities for activities and projects to deliver digital education that supports greener economies and societies.
Join this session to identify and discuss development opportunities and innovative ideas on the potential of digital education in fostering sustainable, climate-neutral societies.
