Providing Young People With The Opportunity To Redesign The Way They Connect, Collaborate, And Learn!
The Future of Education Youth Summit is a full-day event taking place the day after the Educator Summit. Bringing together high school students from schools across the community, the Youth Summit has been designed to empower high school students in shaping their future as young professionals. This immersive full-day experience brings together students from various schools across the community to explore how they can connect, collaborate, and co-create on their path towards success in the evolving world.
With the opportunity for students to hear from insightful speakers, network with young people from other schools, share their ideas and voice their opinions, this will be an action-packed day designed to involve students in the conversation of what they want the future of education to look like.
Designed as an opportunity to get a youth perspective on the future of education, the Youth Summit exists to provide young people a seat at the table as we explore how we can best prepare our next generation for the ever-changing future of work.
