According to the UN, "quality education for all is one of the strongest and most sustainable pillars of sustainable development". Indeed, studies have already shown that education is the foundation of sustainable development in Africa. In the same time, The United Nations strongly asserts that digital is a major lever of the SDGs. In these circumstances, how can emerging technologies be used in education to promote critical knowledge, skills and qualifications for sustainable development in Africa?
How to develop citizens capable of driving the social, cultural and political changes necessary for sustainable development in Africa? ; How to market workers with the skills to improve labor productivity and stimulate economic growth? ; men and women capable of giving answers to the ecological and social crises whose manifestations are climate change, depletion of natural resources, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, increased gaps between developed and developing countries, etc.
The remote participation will be given special attention.
If a speaker is unable to make it for whatever reason, he/she will make the presentation remotely as if they are present in the room.
During the debate part, the floor will be given alternatively to participants in the room and those participating remotely. Our remote moderator will be properly trained to facilitate efficiently the remote interventions.
