It promises to be an enlightening and impactful discussion, bringing together experts and stakeholders to address pressing challenges and chart a course for a more resilient and skilled future workforce in India.
The experts attending the conference will deliberate on how educational institutions, governments and civil society can help enable students with 'Futures Literacy', a phrase coined by UNESCO meaning 'ability to see the role of the future in the present'. These experts will shed light on empowering youth to actively shape their destinies rather than passively accepting what the future holds for them.
Among the educationists and futurists attending the conference are Professor Shermon Cruz, Chair of the Association of Professional Futurists (APF), and also the UNESCO Chair Candidate on Anticipatory Governance and Regenerative Cities at Northwestern University in the Philippines; Dr Sakshi Khurana, Senior Specialist at NITI Ayog (Labour, Employment and Skill Development); Shakil Ahmed, Country Lead, Bangladesh, Ed Tech Hub and Futurist at Ridiculous Futures; and Maneesh Mishra, Executive Vice President, Strategy, National Skills Development Corporation. Many technology experts will also deliberate on the role of artificial intelligence in shaping the future.
