Technology and Innovation have already brought great change to the job marketplace leading to a disruption of the skills that are needed. Not only is this happening now, but it is happening rapidly, and it is continuing to evolve on a near-daily basis with the introduction of robotic automation, technical innovations, and digitalization set to cost millions of jobs worldwide. The International Youth Summer School in Iceland will help to prepare youth for future possible changes. You will learn and analyze the most influential trends of the development in different areas of the worldwide society and what the future map of skills, education, and training for sustainable future global development will be.
