“What kind of education enables us to cope with an interconnected world?”

21 January 2011

We have for some time lived in an interconnected world. Cambridge Assessment, the parent body of Cambridge ESOL, is hosting an event for educationalists and policy makers to investigate what an interconnected world means for education.

Experts, including representatives from a leading UK university and major international employer, will look at what knowledge and skills are attractive to HE institutions and employers around the world and whether there is a common set of skills, body of knowledge, level of understanding or a mindset that enables students and countries to flourish in an interconnected world. It will also consider global skills for domestic use, looking at the need for 'home' students to deal with the 'globalised' world even if they remain in one country.

The event will take place on 15 March 2011 in London. To book your free place contact: Rebecca or Jennifer on 01223 556018 or email:
