This event was held on 24 March, in the University of Deusto Auditorium and was organised by the Asociación Lagunarte (Deusto Business School Student Association – University of Deusto).
In the history of man, the twentieth century was the period that most transformed the world. It changed more in 15 years than it had in all the previous centuries. When he invented the first mass produced automobile, Henry Ford said: “If I had asked anyone what they would like to have, they would have said a faster horse”.
As the world becomes more global and the barriers to information and knowledge are eradicated, these changes must occur more quickly in order to constantly adapt to new scenarios and unpredictable situations.
What should we change in our education system to bring it closer to the reality of public institutions and business? Why do we continue to invest in dirty energy? Who says that science doesn't create wealth? It is really impossible to alleviate the poverty suffered by a third of the world’s population?
These are questions we ask ourselves every day and which call for a rapid response. It may sound like a huge challenge, but we should start building bridges rather than high walls; we should create and share knowledge. The bottom line is that we should change what we can. Does changing the world sound like a utopian dream? We are inviting you to change yours.
