Club of Rome Carnuntum: What do children need to learn today – for a world of tomorrow?

“What do children need to learn today – for a world of tomorrow?“
Ricardo Leppe

Ricardo Leppe is an Austrian education activist (living in Gloggnitz), learning coach, and founder of the initiative https://wissenschafftfreiheit.com/.
He advocates for learning that fosters curiosity and enthusiasm and empowers young people to think and create independently.
With his pointed theses on school and education, he encourages reflection – and indeed, contradiction.

The Club of Rome Carnuntum does not primarily focus on school, but on the question of how societal transformation can succeed. – And education is key to this.
We want a sustainable, peaceful, and liveable world. But are we actually educating young people in a way that enables them to shape this world?

Let’s discuss three interconnected questions this evening:

1. What is going wrong with learning today?
   Why do so many children and young people have “no interest in education” – even though they were curious and eager to learn as toddlers?
2. How do people truly learn well?
   Do we really need to spend so much time learning – or can it be faster, more enjoyable, more effective? – Learning techniques, memory, playful learning, enthusiasm, self-determination.
3. And above all: What do we actually need to learn?
   If AI makes knowledge available at any time and at the same time climate change, democracy, social polarisation, and resource issues become more complex: What does this mean for the education of our children and young people?

We look forward to an inspiring Club evening and many perspectives from the region – for the region.

Free admission for Club members; 12 EUR for guests (excl. consumption)
