During the online teaser on 9 December 2021, we discussed a whole afternoon about what the future could look like, how we can adapt to make it happen and how education can foster this. Kate Raworth, Mamphela Ramphele and Garry Jacobs provided pre-recorded speeches beforehand and joined the live debate during the online event.
In addition we offered interactive workshops and interesting short videos. At the end, various (local) actors from society (students, professors, companies, organizations, etc.) were brought together for a live debate about issues raised and insights provided in our local, cosy studio in Hasselt, Belgium.
