In this podcast, lifelong learner and leadership expert Mia Kleregård discusses what education will look like in the future, particularly with the opportunities and challenges posed by the fourth industrial revolution. She questions the idea of ‘knowledge is power' in the current context, as knowledge becomes more accessible through the mini-computers in our pockets – the mobile phone. In turn, Mia highlights the need for creating learning experiences that focuses on social skills and self-leadership to collaborate, network and problem-solve with others. University campuses will be key in creating such learning opportunities. She brings home the point that to address the global challenges, we need to stay continuously curious and reach a common ground of love for all. Mia ends the podcast with a beautiful vision of the university as a platform that frees oneself and nurtures human creativity.
