Global Problems
Ebola and Fukushima: what do they have in common?
Global issues: an Italian cares even if not interested to Africa and Japan
Often scientific origin: accelerated by faster transportation (ICT, mobility)
Ethical implications: huge, often hard to grasp on impact
Requiring historical and technical competences: but the Babel Tower is a
concern and a challenge to be overcome through education.
And a tolerance for diversity: among all knowledgeable parties involved.

Interdisciplinarity? Prof. Mikhail Rykhtik: YES but…

Ned Phelps, Nobel Prize
Economies today lack the spirit of innovation. Labor markets do
not need only more technical expertise; they require an
increasing number of soft skills, like the ability to think
imaginatively, develop creative solutions to complex challenges,
and adapt to changing circumstances and new constraints.
That is what young people need from education.
A necessary first step is to restore the humanities in high school
and university curricula. Exposure to literature, philosophy, and
history will inspire young people to seek a life of richness – one
that includes making creative, innovative contributions to
society.
Countries worldwide can use the humanities to develop or revive
the economies that drove this ascent, while helping individuals to
lead more productive and fulfilling lives.
