GAN Global will create partnerships with some of their members/partners to showcase original Instagram projects that are focus on some of the topics associated with work based learning activities and where different communities will be featured at the workplace such as vulnerable youth, parents who return to work after a period of leave, apprentices, entrepreneurs…etc.
In 2019 GAN Global will feature the OIJ Instagram project Top 2030 that is focused especifically on skills and youth leadership in support of the 2030 Agenda. SkillingNow will feature 9 young entrepreneurs who are transforming their ecosystem through their initiatives and actions.
We will organize Twitter Summits, virtual conferences that takes place on Twitter, featuring both keynotes and research presentations, but the talks will be delivered via a series of tweets. The virtual conference will promote open debate where everyone can follow, ask questions, and take part in the discussions. The conference “Chair” will tweet out the conference schedule and other announcements about the conference, and on the day, share all presentations.
SkillingNow is diving deep into three topics in 2019 and spending up to three months on each topic to enable diverse voices to be heard.
