Session 4: How will we work and live in a sustainable way?

Level 6

The incorporation of new technologies is expected to simultaneously kill and create hundreds of millions of jobs in the years to come. Societies will need to adapt, developing the skills required for the workforce and social solutions to mitigate the hurdles of transition.

A sustainable and prosperous future will only be possible if social cohesion is kept and countries have globally competitive pools of makers, doers, innovators and entrepreneurs. Education itself will be reshaped by technology and new models for partnerships will be made.
