2 About UNESCO MGIEP The Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development (MGIEP) is an integral part of UNESCO and focuses on education for peace, sustainable development and global citizenship to foster peaceful and sustainable societies. In 2009, the UNESCO General Conference decided to set up an institute focusing on peace and sustainability education based in the vast and rapidly growing Asia-Pacific region. In 2012, the Director-General of UNESCO, Irina Bokova, and the President of India, Pranab Mukherjee, launched the institute. Currently, UNESCO MGIEP is the only category 1 research institute in Asia Pacific and one of the seven in the world. UNESCO MGIEP looks at youth and the technological space as key focus areas for intervention in formal, informal and non-formal learning systems. The Institute has identified technology as a key tool offering unique pedagogical insights into fostering critical inquiry, empathy, and compassion, in addition to embedding the concepts of peace, sustainable development and global citizenship into the core disciplines of mathematics, sciences, and the humanities. UNESCO MGIEP therefore believes organizing TECH (Transforming Education for Humanity Conference) comes at an opportune time as countries find innovative ways to achieve the 2030 education targets and more broadly the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). About the conference In an age of rapid change, characterized by exponential growth in information technology, globalization and rising inequalities, the 21st century poses a unique set of challenges. To contend with these interconnected global issues, education systems have to develop new and innovative approaches. This means that we need to work at all levels from government policies to classroom teaching methods and informal learning to empower young people to rapidly and easily adapt to their changing environments and to lead socially responsible lives. With this background, UNESCO MGIEP is organizing the TECH conference. Our Target Audience TECH intends to bring together educators, education researchers, neuroscientists, edtech specialists, policy makers, students, gaming experts, curriculum designers, young social entrepreneurs, technology experts and futurists who can help build, share, enhance and deliver Digital Pedagogies for Peaceful and Sustainable Societies.

New challenges in a rapidly changing world will require new skills for success. The advancements in the digital world have played a key role in shrinking the world and connecting societies in ways never seen before in human history. The conference focuses on exploring how the digital pedagogies actually improve the efficiency of learning using the vast amounts of big data and information available.
