What is
Edutech Challenges?
For the second consecutive year, Talent Garden is fostering a thought-provoking conversation in the tech industry about the future of workforce education through a one-of-a-kind event.
Organized under the umbrella of The Conference on the Future of Europe, Edutech Challenges brings together leading companies, startups, institutions, and key players in the education industry to explore the latest trends, share best practices, and address the challenges the edtech ecosystem is facing.
Bridging the gap: AI and Collaborative Learning for a brighter future
AI is revolutionizing how working and learning are experienced, but it’s not independent of human influence.
Overall, AI is transforming the nature of work and creating new opportunities, but it’s important to approach it with a clear understanding of its benefits and limitations.
What will the future of corporate learning look like?
According to our experts and keynote speakers from the EduTech Conference, to face the accelerated need for skill development designed to keep up with the pace of change, companies will need to look at AI, Immersive experiences, and lifelong learning.
DIGITAL MINDSET & LEADERSHIP:
ETHICAL PRACTICES
Learn how to encourage employee innovation while enabling managers and internal influencers to “make it happen”. Understand why people need to be guided towards future business scenarios and the process of implementing ethical practices and business and HR leadership behaviours that successfully boost digital mindset culture and openness to digital transformation.
SKILLS GAP ANALYSIS: THE FUTURE OF WORK
Discover how we can ensure that organizational cultures and the workforce are future-ready and empowered to drive transformation while providing up-to-date skills and competencies with the latest market and business requirements. We will also explore how organizations can effectively analyze, identify, and prioritize future skills they will need at a corporate and functional level.
WORKFORCE EDUCATION: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
We are seeing opportunities like economic growth, social mobility, adapting to technological changes, closing the skills gap, etc. However, there are also challenges such as affordability, quality, relevance, and equity in access to education.
To overcome these challenges, it’s important to ensure that training programs are of high quality, relevant to the job market, and accessible to all individuals regardless of their background.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
The impact of AI on the workplace is significant. It has the potential to automate routine tasks, increase efficiency, and improve decision-making. However, it also raises concerns about job displacement and the need for workers to develop new skills.
Overall, AI is transforming the nature of work and creating new opportunities, but it’s important to approach it with a clear understanding of its benefits and limitations.
COLLABORATIVE LEARNING
Nowadays learning = Collaborative learning professionals, teacher and students work together to achieve a common goal by involving active participation and cooperation. The professional role is to create a supportive environment, provide resources, and facilitate communication and cooperation among students. The teacher can also provide feedback, assess progress, and adjust the learning plan as needed.
