An Opportunity to Attend the Co-Opinion 4th Annual Youth Summit in Turkey 2019

Edu Active invites young people to participate in the opportunity to attend the Co-Opinion 4th Annual Youth Summit in Istanbul, Turkey.

About the Summit

4th Industrial Revolution is the fourth major industrial era that fuses physical, biological and digital technologies. These technologies are changing the world we live in and they should not be limited to the agenda that developed countries have imposed. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has one of the youngest populations in the globe. However, the region has very high total and youth unemployment rates in the world, especially among women. Had the young population been managed rightly in the region, MENA’s young population could have unlocked its potential and could have contributed to development of the region’s countries. At this point, it is necessary to reform the education and training methods of the region for reskilling the youth in line with the norms of future.

Summit Goals:

4th Annual Youth Summit will facilitate interaction between youth civil society, academia and the private sector. The participants will have the opportunity to empower young people in arguments regarding the 4th Industrial Revolution and to provide solutions to their problems with prominent policymakers and distinguished intellectuals. The summit will focus on the democratization process of these technologies and provide a platform to discuss the novelties of the new era by focusing on three fundamental aspects of the Industry 4.0: Education 4.0, Digitization of Industry, Digital Rights and Cybersecurity.
