21st century skills

 

what it’s about

Technology, the economy, and society are changing quickly and accelerating.  We are uncertain what the next 20, 50, 100 years holds or what the workplace will demand. In preparing children for a world that doesn’t even exist yet, we need to teach them how to think, rather than what to think. Even more so, we need to teach the next generation to think creatively, be problem solvers, innovators and idea generators. Find out how integrating the arts is crucial to developing these and other critical skills for success in the 21st century.
