#wirbewegenwas - With this in mind, Teach For Austria initiated the Future Minds Summit on 17 January 2024 in cooperation with the City of Linz's Innovation Hub.

At the centre of Teach For Austria's vision: Every child has the right to a good life. But what will a good life look like in the future? Around 200 participants and stakeholders explored this question in sessions on the topics of climate, work and digitalisation. Current challenges and innovative solutions were discussed with the aim of providing new impetus for shaping the future.

We can consciously shape the good life of tomorrow today. Keynote speaker Toni Kronke (Deputy CEO Teach For Austria) said: "Either we do something now or it will just happen. Even without us!" No matter what we work on - that's simply the thing - doing instead of talking! Truths and beliefs were questioned - in the field of education and digitalisation by Sok-Kheng Taing (Dynatrace) and Barbara Zuliani (PHDL), with regard to the foundations of a society by Patrick Rammerstorfer (Ministry of Curiosity & Future Studies) and Thomas Gegenhuber (Sustainable Transformation Lab, JKU) or on the topic of climate by Gebhard Ottacher (Climate Lab Vienna).

The #Future Minds Summit - An inspiring afternoon with fascinating people and many stimulating conversations - next year again!

We would like to thank all speakers, input providers and marketplace participants.
