In today’s world, the needs and aspirations of children and young people are changing. In order to respond effectively to these changing needs, the Scout Movement’s Vision of Creating a Better World challenges us to rethink the education we offer, and its need to adapt or evolve.
The Education Congress will provide an opportunity to national Scout commissioners who have the task of providing support to the development of educational aspects of Scouting throughout the world to share their experiences and, in the same time, map the future of the movement. Scouting does not exist in isolation therefore as a way of strengthening its base prominent education experts outside Scouting will grace the congress.
The World Congress is an excellent opportunity for those who have realised such studies to put them in the attention and under the scrutiny of representatives of associations from all around the world. This will be also a great opportunity for peer review, as many other experts in education will be present at the Congress, to present their own materials or to participate in WOSM panel debates.
