The RewirEd Summit presents an opportunity for the global education community, including educationalists and front liners, policy makers, youth, the private sector, international organisations, foundations... to come together to scale and jumpstart some of the positive change we want to see in education. The Summit focuses on three key pressing areas in education globally:
- Youth, Skills and the Future of Work
- Innovation in Education
- Education Financing
VVOB contributes to three sessions: on skilling for sustainable and gender equal tourism; on scaling education innovations; and on delivering TVET at scale. Find more information below.
Session: How to Skill the Workforce for Sustainable, Gender Equal Tourism?
- 12 December (Day 1)
- with VVOB, Global Travel and Tourism Partnership, Academy of Culinary Arts Cambodia and GIZ Rwanda
Tourism has a strong track record in youth employment and entrepreneurship. Hard-hit by COVID-19, a structural transformation is now needed for a responsible, sustainable, and resilient tourism economy, where young men and women find fulfilling and dignifying work. This session discusses forward-looking solutions for skilling for sustainable, gender equal tourism.
Session: Delivering TVET at scale
- 12 December (Day 1)
- with VVOB, Lend a Hand India, Luminus Education, Swiss Federal University for Vocational Education & Training and Co-Impact
Young people are now three times more likely than adults to be unable to find a job. TVET with its focus on providing work-related skills, is central to tackling youth unemployment. The session will discuss prerequisites for a successful TVET program, embedding it within mainstream education system and scaling it up.
Panel: The Journey to Scaling Education Innovations: The ins and outs, and the ups and downs
Moderated by J-PAL, this panel will share inspiring examples from leading organisations who are scaling innovative, evidence-based programs to millions of learners around the world. Panelists will reflect on the key levers which facilitate scale-up as well as challenges they grapple with along the way.
