Global Educators Forum for Students Launched

The Project Management Institute (PMI), a global leader in project success, has partnered with Cannes Lions to launch the LIONS Educators Forum. This new global initiative seeks to bridge the gap between academic institutions and the creative industries, ensuring students are better equipped for the modern workforce.

The forum addresses a growing demand for closer alignment between educational content and the skills necessary in today's rapidly changing, AI-influenced economy. As creativity, problem-solving, collaboration, and adaptability become increasingly vital across all professions, the initiative provides a platform for educators and industry leaders to collaborate.
