Some of the world's leading researchers, experts, and writers will provide the Learning Tapestry

The Learning Tapestry. The Future of Education Conference, which will take place on 5 and 6 June in Bucharest is a learning opportunity for entrepreneurs and leaders who understand the importance of developing essential skills today, in today's fast-paced and highly dynamic environment, such as systems thinking, adopting an empathetic leadership style, building and developing resilience in organizations and companies, the importance of a form of socio-emotional education that supports experiential learning and teamwork.

"The way the world has changed over the last decades, the interconnectivity, the speed of radical change, the access to an abundance of information that often does not pass through any filter before it reaches the public space, the changes in value systems, the re-evaluation of what quality of life means, as well as people's reaction, communities and humanity in general to all this have led to the conclusion that the citizen of the future, in order to be a happy and balanced human being, needs to develop a set of universally valid attitudes and behaviors - attentiveness, resilience, compassion, involvement, curiosity, wisdom, courage, awareness, the ability to be a support to others", explains Doina Grigoras, facilitator in socio-emotional and ethical education, Verita Foundation.

Leaders who are passionate about building businesses need to be able to rethink their relationships with their employees, sometimes multiple times throughout the lifecycle of their business, while maintaining the values they want their community to follow.

On the other hand, the role of the entrepreneur has become more complex than just building a business and strengthening it: they need to understand the interdependence of the business environment and its value in society, to build resilient and emotionally stable teams that they lead through compassion.

Participants will engage in a series of meaningful conversations with international experts, researchers, writers, and neuroscientists", explains Richard Joannides, founder of Verita International School and organizer of Learning Tapestry.

"Resilience systems adapt through constant change over time and you might look at them 10 years later and say it's not the same company. Actually, it is, it has a continuous identity over time. So resilience is about creating a company or organisation that can survive events that you can't anticipate today. There are a number of things you can do as a leader that will make you and your organisation resilient, and at the top of the list is forward thinking," explains Dave Snowden.
