The Future of Education: New Models for 21st Century Learning
The Future of Education is before us. Around the world and here at home, entrepreneurs and educators are redefining education with democratized learning models, custom education pathways, and innovative methods for students to learn 21st century skills. We are entering a new education paradigm - one that is hyper-focused on learning by doing, skill building for a new economy, and accessibility via online and offline community platforms.
On January 23rd, join us for an evening of discussion and engagement with the leaders of tomorrow (and today) who are crafting alternative models for 21st century learning. We’ll hear from entrepreneurs and disruptors who are thinking deeply about how we learn and why we need new and supplemental educational programming to teach valuable skills for a changing global workforce.

Be Social Change
Be Social Change is a community of passionate people transforming ideas into action. We believe that to solve the world’s toughest problems, we need to increase the number of problem-solvers in the world. To accomplish this, we equip people with the knowledge, skills, and community of support to create meaningful change through:
-
Entrepreneurship Education via The Makers Institute, our in-person and online learning platform that equips people with the entrepreneurial skills to create the next generation of socially-conscious small businesses, scalable non-profits, and impact-driven careers
-
Idea-Exchange and Sharing of Best Practices via cross-sector panel events, pitch sessions, and conferences
-
Community-Building via monthly Meetups that bring together people from diverse backgrounds and professions for networking, idea-sharing, and collaboration
-
Resource-Sharing Tools that share opportunities to create impact such as our weekly Social Good Events Guide
Our vision is create a future where every entrepreneur a social entrepreneur, every business a socially-conscious business, and every career is an impact-driven career.
Join us to make that future together.
