Let’s work together to bring future-ready skills into schools: At the NextGenSupport network meeting, teachers and partner organizations from the fields of innovation, STEM, startup culture, and entrepreneurship come together to share experiences, make new connections, and develop concrete ideas for use in schools.
How can we help young people develop the skills they need in an increasingly dynamic world?
Creativity, problem-solving skills, initiative, technical understanding, innovation, and entrepreneurial thinking are among the key skills for the future today. Schools play a central role in this. At the same time, there are numerous initiatives, companies, networks, and educational programs in Saxony that can make a valuable contribution through their experience and ideas.
At the NextGenSupport network meeting, we bring teachers and partner organizations together to connect these very resources.
Together, we want to explore
- how topics such as innovation, startup culture, STEM, and entrepreneurship can be brought to life in everyday school life,
- what challenges and needs schools currently face,
- what resources are already available,
- and how these can lead to new collaborations, lesson ideas, or project formats.
