Forum Design“THE EDUCATION MOSAIC: A WORLD OF PERSPECTIVES": JOIN A COLLABORATIVE DIALOGUE ON THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION

Set against the backdrop of Amman's millennia-old history and its pulsating modernity, Franklin University Switzerland could not have chosen a more fitting setting for a forum that seeks to explore the kaleidoscopic dimensions of education. As the crossroads of ancient civilizations and cutting-edge advancements, Amman embodies the convergence of diverse educational philosophies, methodologies, and traditions. It is here, in this fascinating interplay of old and new, that we invite you to join us at the St. Regis Hotel on September 23, 2023.

Our gathering will assemble an unparalleled cohort of thought leaders, educators, scholars, and visionaries for a comprehensive and insightful discourse on education from a global standpoint. This momentous event aims not just to discuss but to delve into the core intricacies that shape our educational landscapes—ranging from the dynamics of career readiness to the evolving paradigms of educational funding and the enriching influences of multicultural experiences.
