“The current learning systems do not fully develop people’s learning potential, and new initiatives have limited global impact as they tend to operate in isolation. Changing education and new learning systems bring significant challenges; yet we believe that if done properly, they can truly empower children to become problem solvers and help address global challenges from the roots.”– We Share Forward

“Emerging trends related to AI are changing content, delivery methods, and teaching practices in the education system. These changes pose numerous challenges for educators who require assistance in updating their skill sets, as children are learning at a rapid pace and quickly adapting to technology. While this presents a great challenge, it also presents a great opportunity to change the education landscape so we can equip European youth with the skills they need to succeed. Governments need to understand how they can leverage the benefits of this technology and invest in the upskilling of their people.” – JA Europe
