Description

To explore the future of education, vocational training, employment, and the transformative shifts shaping lifelong learning and the society we strive to create, the 10th edition of the Skillman International Forum (SIF) 2024 took place on December 11 and 12, 2024, in Montecatini Terme, Italy. The Forum is an international gathering organized by the Skillman network, which spans 95 countries. It is designed and managed in collaboration with the European Training Foundation and other key partners, including Artex, the Tuscan Center for Craftsmanship Development in Florence. The 2024 Forum focused on key principles and strategic directions, including: - Ethical Values and Social Competencies: Emphasizing the role of education in fostering active citizenship alongside workforce development. This includes building on early successes, such as raising awareness about the green transition among children, and extending these efforts to areas like gender equality. - Key Competences for Lifelong Learning Inclusiveness: Ensuring students acquire the skills needed to actively participate in lifelong learning, fostering greater inclusivity. - Flexibility in Education Systems: Reviewing the business models of universities, centres of excellence, and schools to make lifelong learning a reality. This includes integrating craft training and diversifying learning pathways, such as apprenticeship programmes in higher education. - Leadership in Education Reform: Recognizing the importance of leadership as a critical trait for stakeholders involved in designing and implementing educational reforms. - Advanced Manufacturing Skills for Traditional Craftsmanship: Bridging the gap between advanced manufacturing techniques and traditional craftsmanship expertise. ***** PROGRAMME HIGHLIGHTS The Forum spanned two intensive days, featuring presentations, pitches, roundtables, workshops, and a co-design process aimed at fostering excellence and equipping learners with digital credentials. We are committed to creating a better society, and we invite institutions and individuals to join us in this mission. **SIF 2024 OFFICIAL PROGRAMME** ***KEYNOTE SPEAKERS*** - Sungsup Ra: Former Deputy Director General at the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and current Visiting Professor at the KDI School of Public Policy and Management in Korea.
