"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world" is an internationally well-known quote of Nelson Mandela." It couldn't be more symbolic to host our EdTech international event at the Nelson Mandela Square Hangar K where edtechstation is based. Inspiring speakers covered the state of play of EdTech in different countries: Thomas Van Cauwenberghe for Belgium, Aurite Kouts for France, Jonathan Viner for the Nordics (N8) and last, but not least... Carla Aerts for the UK. So grateful for the massive attendance and the many positive reactions. There's a lot more coming up, so stay tuned! You can find the link to our event calendar in the comments. #edtechstation #edtech #education #technology #inspiration

How to get the most of a 24 hours visit in Paris? This is how we did it: AM: with edtechstation we visited a French colleague cluster Cap Digital where we met their EdTech specialist Aurite Kouts. PM: we met the one and only European XR-headset producer Lynx. Chouki HADRI the co-founder, VP Sales & marketing, gave us an exclusive demo of the most recent pre-production models. A day extremely well spent in Paris to say the least! Thanks for all the inspiring EdTech-talks ... Ps: we did not find Emily there... 😊 #edtech #paris #education #technology #XR

Key take-aways for us: The global EdTech market keeps accelerating fast because of increasing demands for training and education. At the same time, the pandemic has made it clear that to deliver on its promise, the EdTech sector needs to do a lot better at connecting human beings online and offline, and at creating a level-playing field for all actors in the ecosystem (including open infrastructure, and gatekeepers for dealing with AI). EdTech will need to focus its efforts on experiential learning, making use of XR technologies and AI foundation models, with special attention to ethics, inclusive (co-)design and learner agency but with a view to delivering sustainable impact for all stakeholders. Conclusion: The EdTech ecosystem in Europe is strong and policy makers have recognized this with new initiatives like the European Digital Education Hub. Looking forward to building more bridges between our local ecosystem and the European… No: even better: between our local ecosystem edtechstation and the global EdTech scene! Thx Daniel Sacchelli for the perfect organisation ! #edtechX #edtech #education

De nieuwe hub edtechstation in Hangar K is deze morgen gelanceerd in aanwezigheid van minister Hilde Crevits, initiatiefnemer Piet Desmet, voorzitter Arne Vandendriessche en veel geïnteresseerden. Wil je weten waar het over gaat? Kijk hieronder en in 100 seconden ben je volledig mee! https://lnkd.in/e5icpxMs #itec #hangarK #edtechstation #edtech

Zonet is <edtech/station> in Hangar K in Kortrijk gelanceerd in aanwezigheid van minister Hilde Crevits, initiatiefnemer Piet Desmet, voorzitter Arne Vandendriessche en een groot aantal stakeholders, geïnteresseerden en pers! Educatieve technologie is ‘booming business’. En Vlaanderen is er top in: online opleidingen, virtuele klaslokalen of stageplaatsen, afstandsleren op de schoolbanken maar evenzeer op de werkvloer! "Het nieuwe <edtech/station> zal een ultramoderne ontmoetings- en werkplaats worden waar onze kennisinstellingen en bedrijven de handen in elkaar slaan om de nieuwste technologieën voor Onderwijs en Werk uit te denken, te testen en nationaal & internationaal uit te dragen. En waar kunnen we dat beter doen dan in Kortrijk, het Silicon Valley van Vlaanderen? In tijden waarin we elk talent nodig hebben, moeten we de belangrijkste grondstof van onze regio, onze grijze cellen, optimaal ontwikkelen en elke Vlaming maximale kansen geven om zich te ontwikkelen en zijn talenten in te zetten! Want zoals Nelson Mandela het treffend verwoordde: ‘Education is the most powerful weapon which u can use to change the world’." zo verwoordde Hilde Crevits het tijdens haar openingsspeech. #business #education #change #edtech #edtechstation #HangarK
