KSIgune - Basque Higher Education & Research Cluster for CCIs, has coordinated the thematic area Education in CCIs at the Creativity World Forum (CWF24).
CWF24 has addressed education as a key tool for the development of highly qualified people, with innovative and creative skills, who act as agents of change in a constantly evolving and challenging world.
The Education area had a working group and a DC Living Lab to respond to two challenges from a global perspective:
- 1/ New educational systems for the promotion of creative, innovative and entrepreneurial competences.
- 2/ Possible models to respond to the current needs of the CCI sectors.
As a result, below we introduce the inspiring experiences selected by the working group, which shared their journey at CWF24, as well as the collective reflection on Education in CCIs with the series of articles published by KSIgune.
The conclusions of this thematic area are available here.
