Education Transformation

In May 2022, 51 Salzburg Global Fellows from 20 countries came together to ask bold and challenging questions about education:

• What kind of societies are we aiming for and how could transformed education systems help us to get there?
• What would an education system look like that supported all learners to build the capabilities, skills and knowledge they need to transform the world?
• What do we need to change within ourselves to facilitate this process?
• What are the conversations and questions that are required to initiate long-term transformation?

The first output of this collective effort is the following call to action for policymakers, learners, educators, and parents to intervene in education systems to bring about fundamental and lasting transformations. This is not a blueprint as every system will transform in different ways, but this is a call for everyone who has power, agency and voice to use it to build the education systems that are needed for human and planetary flourishing this century.

• If you have power, agency and voice, use it to advocate for the kind of education that will help all young people thrive and become active citizens.
• If you have power, agency and voice, acknowledge that this will be different to other people’s and use your opportunities to include those who might be left out of the process.
• If you work in government or education networks, recommit to the achievement of SDG 4.7 to ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including, among others, through education for sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship and appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture’s contribution to sustainable development.
