HOSTED BY HØYSKOLEN KRISTIANIA
Embracing Diversity - Educating for Change: How do we educate students for the workforce of tomorrow?
Society thrives when education embraces diversity and prepares students for change. At Kristiania we aim to achieve this through three key areas. First, by offering an inclusive curriculum that reflects diverse perspectives, encouraging students to explore a range of viewpoints. Second, by fostering a diverse learning environment—through varied teaching methods, faculty representation, and a student body that mirrors society—empowering individuals from all backgrounds. Third, by creating a safe and welcoming space that inspires learning and collaboration.
Education for change can be reached by bridging the gap between academia and the workforce, equipping students with relevant skills and inspiring faculty through teaching, research, and knowledge-sharing. Equally important, by supporting student organizations and incubators that promote creativity, entrepreneurship, and competence-building for the benefit of individuals and society. Establishing strong partnerships with local, national, and international communities to provide students with real-world experiences, ensuring education remains dynamic, purposeful, and recognized across industries is also of great value.
In this session we ask various voices from politics, working life and academia on how we educate students for the workforce of tomorrow.

HOSTED BY UiO
Want experienced students? Here’s how to get them!
How can companies find students who are ready to contribute from day one? And how can students get the right experience before graduating? The challenge is clear—companies seek experienced students but often don’t invest in creating those opportunities, while students struggle to navigate where and how to gain relevant experience. Bridging this gap is crucial for fostering innovation, building stronger teams, and ensuring future-ready talent. Whether you're a company looking to attract top student talent or a student trying to gain a competitive edge, this discussion is for you. Join us as we explore real strategies and actionable insights about student experience and hiring
