But to meet the challenges of the so-called 4th Industrial Revolution, we need to see such commitment and progress across the board, in every European country. It is not just a question of how many young people get to participate, it is also about what they are learning, how they are learning it and what they are able to do with it later on.

He goes on to explain that the next generation of young citizens will create jobs, not seek them.That will require curiosity, imagination, empathy, entrepreneurship and resilience, the ability to fail constructively, to learn from mistakes.
