GLOBAL YOUTH SKILLS are to learn about new learning, civic and career narratives in the lives of young Europeans.
We believe that every young person deserves an opportunity to develop skills needed in the 21st-century. Institute for the Future forecasts the following skills will be in demand in the near future: making yourself known, befriending the machines, building your crew, making sense, keep it going (Global Youth Skills report, 2019). This skills framework is very interesting due to the following reasons: - It was developed with a clear input of young people
