Education Forum 2023 (Past)

The Education Forum 2023 organized by the Azuero Chapter of APEDE @apedeazuero, with the theme "Comprehensive Education and Professional Training: forging human capital in Azuero", perfectly aligns with the principles of Doughnut Economics. This economic approach, proposed by Kate Raworth, advocates for a balance between basic human needs and planetary boundaries. In the context of the forum, comprehensive education and professional training are considered essential for human development and community well-being, while recognizing the ecological limits of the planet.

The emphasis on collaboration between the private sector and academia reflects the need for a holistic and collaborative approach to address educational and developmental challenges in the Azuero province. By integrating the business perspective with academia, an educational curriculum can be designed that not only meets current labor market needs, but also promotes sustainability and long-term sustainable development. This approach helps to shape professionals who are equipped not only with technical skills, but also with a deep understanding of the environmental and social challenges facing the region and the country as a whole. In this way, it contributes to forging a robust and sustainable human capital that can contribute to economic growth in an equitable manner and in harmony with planetary boundaries
