THESIS:
Youth unemployment and weak motivation in the learning process.
New Education Forum is an international effort responding to dynamic changes on
the labor market and a poor adjustment of the education system to the pace of social
and economic changes. The Forum will show transformation of the employers'
expectations and their attitudes towards innovative methods of learning, stimulating
self-motivation, creativity and readiness for taking responsibility of own life.
This year's New Education Forum will take place in Warsaw, Poland, on November
30th and December 1st. We shall discuss issues regarding Youth unemployment and
their weak of motivation in learning process. It has a significant impact on
helplessness and passivity of young people in taking responsibility for one of the
most important life decisions - choosing their profession. We shall begin our debate
with acknowledging employers' expectations but also their participation in education
programs. The Forum's bottom line will aim at designing a cooperation model for
employers, teachers and school principals as important mentors for young people
trying to find their place in their future, adult lives. New Education Forum will also
facilitate exchanging international experiences on education’s influence on crucial
decision-makings of Youth and preventing unemployment through high quality
education based on experts' opinions from Poland, Germany, Austria, Spain and
non-European countries, i.e. the USA.
