We are proud to announce that GEF Global Education Forum, an initiative of SEK Education Group, and WISE, an initiative of Qatar Foundation are joining forces to jointly organize a major educational event in Latin America.
The forum discussed how education institutions can leverage other resources, programs and spaces in their surroundings and beyond to expand learning opportunities.
The conversations were hosted in Medellín, a city which has involved public, private and philanthropic actors to rethink and transform spaces to innovate in education.
GEF and WISE brought together at EAFIT University local, regional and global decision makers, system thinkers, educators and young voices to rethink how to involve not only academic institutions but a whole society in shaping education.
During the week of the forum, Medellin also hosted a series of events organized with partners:
The Medellin Challenge, led by San Jose de las Vegas School, brought together students from different countries to work collaboratively on solutions for challenges that affect communities in Medellin. The solutions were showcased on 23 May.
EAFIT University and its CenterImaginar Futuros hosted on 25 May the second edition of the Festival de Futuros, an event that shed light on the current and future trends that impact learning processes and teaching in different social contexts.
