EDU/FUTURE STRATEGY
The way we live, work and travel are evolving. We need to prepare ourselves and the next generations, focusing on the skills needed in the 21st century. The world needs a more inclusive and creative educational system, building a workforce that can draw on emotional intelligence and elevated communication to quickly adapt to environmental changes.
The WEF Future of Jobs Report suggests that 85 million jobs may be displaced by 2025 due to a change in the way labour is divided between humans and machines. They also estimated the creation of 97 million jobs to accommodate the demand for new roles and skills. Emotional intelligence (a combination of self-reflection, self-regulation, internal motivation, empathy, and social skills) has risen to the top rank of needed skills. As the ascent of social unrest, economic uncertainty, and an ongoing global health scare continue, these skills warrant more focus.

Our Values
We create opportunities for people to develop the skills that will become increasingly needed. These include creativity, empathy and social skills. In an increasingly automated world, we will need to fill that gap the machines can’t: to be human. Our world-class teachers, creatives and practitioners inspire people to explore new talents and leap into the future armed with sought-after skills. We foster openness to the new, emotional intelligence, motivating people to reconnect with their artistic side, strengthen their creativity and broaden their horizons at the intersection of technology, nature and culture.
