We want to challenge everyone to consider what type of world we want to create. What is the new normal? We have to change our way of thinking, doing and learning. Education and lifelong learning will be vital to enabling systemic change in society. However, in this session we ask if our current knowledge, know-how and understanding are at the level required to create a circular economy society, to use circular economy solutions and to tackle challenges. The session will also create a vision for lifelong circular economy learning with the help of inspiring experts and the audience.
