In its 5th edition, the 2023 Geneva Trialogue builds on its track record of promoting Open Innovation for Education, building on the previous Trialogues and the growing network of international actors from academia, international organizations, and the private sector, generated by earlier editions.
The organisers remain focussed on their goal of accelerating collective action towards achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), by sharing education and learning practices that culminate in positive social and environmental impact at scale.
The 2023 edition will build on an innovative and successful hands-on format pioneered in 2022, where 12 roundtables, each one led by an organisation with a well-defined challenge, engages in a facilitated discovery and design process to find promising solutions to the challenge that can be prototyped in a follow-up hackathon.
Examples from last year included roundtables on: a new education curriculum for sustainable finance; new ways of promoting learning to earning journeys for young Africans; how to enhance the educational impact of Model United Nations events.
In a world in turmoil, the Geneva Trialogue takes place in a context where many actors seek new collaborations to scale up innovative education solutions. The focus is on connecting local, regional, and international initiatives, and enabling dialogue between top-down and bottom-up approaches to innovation.
In 2023, the Geneva Trialogue will be a one-day hybrid event on 16 March 2023, in partnership with and hosted by CERN which will inspire the 2023 Open Geneva Festival (16-26 March). By building on ideas and synergies generated during the Trialogue, through hackathons and other participative events, the goal is to practice open innovation and produce impactful results.
The Geneva Trialogue is By Invitation Only.
Contact the organizers for more information about how to propose and sponsor a roundtable. All participants are welcomed to organise and take part in the Open Geneva Festival hackathons and participative events that are being rolled out from 16-26 March.
