For too long, education has been viewed as an individual journey for people aged six to eighteen, more or less. The conventional perception entails education commencing and concluding within the confines of a classroom, guided by a lecturer, with its primary goal being the preparation of individuals for their careers. Come with us on our journey to unpack these preconceived notions and reimagine education.
Professors Without Borders challenges the adequacy of this traditional educational model for the 21st century. Joining us for this discussion are Tom Bussen, a seasoned professor with teaching experience in the United States, India and Africa, and Enock Nkulanga, a distinguished educational development practitioner in Uganda, Kenya, Egypt, South Africa and the United States.
This fireside discussion will delve into key topics, including experiential learning spaces, non-traditional and cross-cultural teaching, education's role in community transformation, and the significance of intergenerational and lifelong learning. The event will not only highlight these concepts but emphasise their importance and advocate for a comprehensive transformation of education that accommodates everyone in the 21st century.
