TunisiaNavigating the future: how the colours of the economy shape the future of work and skills
Although time travel isn’t yet a reality, key trends such as technological advancements, demographic changes, and societal values are rapidly transforming industries and reshaping the global economy. At October’s “WOW – Unveiling the Colours of the Economy“ event, jointly organised by the European Training Foundation (ETF) and the International Training Centre of the International Labour Organisation (ITCILO), researchers, experts, and thought leaders from around the globe were transported to the year 2050 through a creative exercise in strategic futures planning.
Using colour as a lens to systemically explore key industrial sectors, participants imagined diverse futures for societies, education, and the world of work. As well as envisioning a range of possible futures, it was an opportunity to explore how to shape education and skills today to meet the needs of tomorrow.
This event, the third in the ETF’s “Navigating the Future” series, brought together partners from the European Commission, the ETF’s Skills Lab Network of Experts, ITCILO, and strategic foresight experts to experience first-hand the power of futures scenario planning. With 30 years of experience in human capital development, skills anticipation, and policy advice in EU neighbouring countries, the ETF believes that co-creation is now more essential than ever for developing transformative, resilient strategies to tackle evolving educational and labour market challenges.
