47 students from the Pinheiro e Rosa Secondary School, in Faro, visited, last Tuesday, November 6th, the Web Summit, a technological summit that took place in Lisbon.
These students were selected to join the 2000 seats offered by the Web Summit's “Inspire” program, which aims to continue to fuel young people's passion for technology and the future.
Students involved in the Erasmus+ project “Teach and Learn, new possibilities for teachers and learners” since its inception, had the opportunity to be on the center stage of the Altice Arena and attend sessions related to fake news (false news), privacy and challenges facing today's leaders.
These sessions were attended by internationally renowned speakers such as Mitchell Baker (CEO, co-founder of Mozilla), Ana Brnabic (Prime Minister of Serbia), Stephen Kaufer (CEO of TripAdvisor), Nico Rosberg (Formula 1 world champion in 2016) and André Villas-Boas.
«In a world that changes at a dizzying speed, we cannot leave technology and entrepreneurship out of the learning process, assumptions included in the dynamization of the Erasmus+ “Teach and learn” project», says Escola Secundária Pinheiro e Rosa.
According to Paddy Cosgrave, CEO and founder of the technology summit, "We like to think of the Web Summit as a social space for today's and tomorrow's leaders."
