UNESCO is organizing “Tell them what you want to learn”, inviting young people aged 15 to 25 years old from Latin America and the Caribbean to express their opinion about learning they consider relevant to rethink and redesign the education of the future.

The call will enable young people to deliver their ideas to regional ministers of education about what and how they want to learn, in order to fulfil their dreams, change their surroundings and build a better world.

“Tell them what you want to learn” is part of the new Agenda for Education 2030, which deals with equity and access to schools’ deficiencies.

The Agenda also seeks to enhance the relevance of learning, which is a key issue, particularly for youth. Young people have trouble in their education for reasons such scarcity of support mechanisms, lack of adaptation of learning to their social and cultural reality, and a deficit of meaning and usefulness of school for their fulfilment in the current society.

Spokespeople from UNESCO state that the world needs new actions, tools and approaches to face pending debts in education rights. Therefore, the organization will also develop an enquiry process among other key actors, such as artists, athletes, scientists and opinion leaders; as well as among organisations or institutions that have developed innovative ideas or projects that have real impact in an education centre, a city or a region.

The platform where young people can send their opinions will be open here until July 14^th 2016.
