About B.O.L.D 2019
The world is changing. Trends like artificial intelligence and robotics mean that the jobs of tomorrow are not yet known.
How, in this rapidly changing world should educational institutions prepare young people for tomorrow? How can educational technology truly realize its promise? What character traits will determine successful learners of the future? What will learning spaces of the future look like? What learning conventions must be broken? What does it mean to be BOLD? These are just a few of the many questions we will tackle as peers and experts at the inaugural B.O.L.D (Breaking Ordinary Learning Dimensions) Summit. African Leadership University will be hosting education enthusiasts and lifelong learning advocates from all over the world during an immersive 2-day experience at its campus located in the paradise island of Mauritius.
The B.O.L.D (Breaking Ordinary Learning Dimensions) Summit is a peek into the future of learning, its endless possibilities and what it takes to bring it to life. At the B.O.L.D 2019 summit, you will get a chance to see B.O.L.D innovation in action, network with some of the world’s leading thinkers in education and the future of learning, form meaningful collaborations, and ultimately return better prepared with fresh, unconventional ways to develop talent for the future.
