Excerpt

Learning to Improve the World: How Injaz Al-Arab helps youth in the Middle East develop an entrepreneurial mindset. Fernando Reimers, August 2018, Book, "The world is changing rapidly. Globalization and technological innovation have created new opportunities and challenges for individuals, communities and nations. With these changes it has become necessary to revisit to what extent children and youth are being prepared to be effective and productive citizens and workers, and to what extent they are equipped not just to understand the future, but to invent it. In the 21st century the skills and dispositions necessary to live meaningful lives, to participate socially, civically and economically, have expanded from those which were sufficient in the past."
