Abstract:

Charles Leadbeater will draw on his extensive research on innovation in education around the world, from the poorest slums to the richest countries, to look at the six key qualities education will need to foster for young people to succeed in a modern world which is volatile, uncertain and yet full of promise and opportunity. His talk will draw on examples of innovation in education from around the world to point to a system that nurtures talent and encourages children to ask questions, challenge conventional thinking, and collaborate to make solutions of their own.
