In the 21st century we are more connected to each other and to information than ever before. As curious and social creatures living in a digital age, we tend to share and distribute the information we receive at remarkable speed and with remarkable outcomes. The end result? Every single one of us, on any given day, is both a learner and an educator. Some of us are more one than the other; some of us are both at the same time. But every single one of us stands to benefit from a revitalized look at what education means in the 21st century.

Join us Monday, June 13 at pariSoma Innovation Loft for a panel discussion exploring the ways we can facilitate this desire to improve learning. How do we maximize the impact of education in a digital age, taking care not to leave anyone behind? How can we set up environments where information is free flowing? How can we shift business as usual so that it is the learners and educators themselves who shape the learning and educating?

In the 21st century we are more connected to each other and to information than ever before. As curious and social creatures living in a digital age, we tend to share and distribute the information we receive at remarkable speed and with remarkable outcomes. The end result? Every single one of us, on any given day, is both a learner and an educator. Some of us are more one than the other; some of us are both at the same time.
