Gen Z is our most incredible generation yet, with tenacity, creativity, and the potential to change the world. And yet too often our young people are talked about as the challenge or the burden is placed on them to adapt to antiquated structures. What do we need to understand about who this next generation of young people are? And how do we cultivate an education system that will support them to perform at their highest level?
Join World Savvy and youth from across our region for an intergenerational conversation, “Understanding & Amplifying the Power and Talent of Young People.” Keynote speaker, bestselling author, and generational thought leader Mark C. Perna will kick off the event as together, we find out what makes this generation of young people so unique and how to tap into their intelligence and potential as we face a complex future together.
This event is part of World Savvy’s ‘Critical Conversation’ series featuring thought leaders speaking on various topics that impact education and the heart of our work.
