“Comprendiendo los desafíos de la educación global” (Understanding the

challenges of Global Education) was the final stage of the "Education Now" project

which began with a MeltonShare in August, in which we were able to explore the

global situation on education and MF countries' educational systems.

Then, we conducted an Interactive Session at the Symposium 2010 of the

Melton Foundation in Hangzhou, China. In this occasion we discussed the tensions

and challenges education faces in this century in a closer and deeper way.

In the last Interactive session we discussed with the University Community

the same matters as in the Symposium, but also showing the overall project and its

objectives. We used the opinions and examples given by the MF fellows at the

Symposium, to broaden the explanation and exposition of each of the tensions.

This was very useful for the Chilean audience because they were able to

understand in a richer way the roots of today’s problems in education.

These discussions helped us all to have a different approach to learning in

formal education and even more, to foster learning throughout life.
