with the skills needed for the sustainable development—where entrepreneurs,
small business owners and individuals are internationally active in innovation,

consensus was on the need to move away from knowledge-feeding academic models
and instead train individuals with general knowledge who can specialize in a
given field. A stronger focus on teaching how to learn will better equip the
new generation to make impactful change. Recommendations from this conference
were submitted as a proposal to the G20; October 2011, Chantilly, France.
