Dr Patricia Charlton, an educator, researcher, and Trustee of the Geneva Learning Foundation, together with Catherine Russ of the Partnership Brokering Association (PBA), a humanitarian learning and development specialist, moderated a lively discussion. Nine panelists, focused on burning questions and challenges related to the digital transformation of learning, education, and training (LET) for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
226 participants were registered for the event, with over 80 of them attending the WSIS Forum in person.
The panel had a deliberate focus:
- On the entire lifespan of education, including adult continuing education and professional development (where most SDG Target 4 discussions so far have been focused on basic childhood education)
- On how to achieve SDG Target 4.7, (“by 2030 ensure all learners acquire knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development”)
- On exploring “burning questions” where there is no consensus (yet) or that involve tackling complex problems for which there is no one solution… to determine if there is a basis for further dialogue and collaboration.
