We are thrilled to welcome the 2014 – 2015 Education to Save the World Fellows next week for our 3-day summit. We can’t wait to explore new ideas, learn from each other, and generate momentum for transforming education to meet the demands of the 21st century. Check out our agenda below!

Schedule for 2014 Fellows Summit

The vision: Transforming education
AM: How has the world changed? What should education look like in the 21st century?

  • Our world needs saving and education is the key lever to pull if we want to make our world more free, just, equal, healthy, and sustainable.
  • The industrial model of education is no longer appropriate for the 21st century and won’t help us create the world we want to see.
