Join an ECOnGOOD conversation on education

Studies show that a country’s economy is more productive when the number of educated workers increases, but what kind of growth is that Education is often centered as a solution for social disparities while workers still respond to an economic system that promotes competition over cooperation. Join Carina Kampter, Jan-Philipp Brinkmann-Acunã, and Mercè Carreras-Solanas for the next ECOnGOOD Conversation, which will explore this important transformation pillar. The seminar will address how education fosters new economic systems such as the Economy for the Common Good.
