Description
Through an exciting collaboration, the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) has partnered with the Higher Education for Good Foundation (HE4GF) to accelerate impact on transforming responsible management education. This invited talk represented a call to action by PRME researchers to get involved.The HE4GF was originally founded by Skema Business School, a PRME Signatory member, and Skema Endowment Fund to develop and promote new models of higher education for a sustainable society. New higher education models should go beyond a focus on the acquisition of workplace skills, and balance this with an education that empowers young people with the means of self-realization and encourage a systemic world-view in which humankind co-habits in harmony with other living beings within planetary boundaries.
In order to achieve this mission, a massive initiative called Youth Talks was created. The Youth Talks initiative is an unprecedented large-scale research project designed to understand the hopes and expectations of young people about to enter work, further or higher education. While descriptive statistics already provide useful information, the use of open-ended questions in research design promise to give educators deeper insights into the hopes, needs and expectations of young people. Qualitative analysis of the data collected from young people in 212 countries worldwide is expected to make a significant contribution to existing literature in the field of responsible management education. This analysis of Youth Talks data and its subsequent findings is intended to influence educational policy and curriculum design in business and management schools, and provide researchers with complimentary access to a unique dataset.
