The Essential 21st Century Skill
Rewire your brain for a lifetime of learning
Join us for an engaging and interactive session where we will examine and dissect 21st Century capabilities (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and more) and explore why they are so difficult - in fact potentially impossible - to teach. From there we'll explore the only truly future-proof life capability there is: the thirst for learning, why it’s so important and how to access and enhance your own and your organisations’ appetite and ability to learn.
Drinks, nibbles and networking from 5:30pm, keynote starts at 6pm sharp.
