(91) Can Your Students Collaborate, Adapt, and Connect Without a Device?

1pm – 1.20pm MST, 26 February 2026 ‐ 20 mins

Room: Rocky Mountain Event Center

Solution Session

Employers aren't just looking for good grades anymore. They're searching for "future-proof" candidates who can adapt, connect, and problem-solve in ways AI can't replicate. The secret? Getting students off their devices and into the world, whether that's exploring historical sites across the country or immersing themselves in different cultures abroad.

Join EF Education First, a premium Charter League partner, for this 20-minute solutions session and discover how travel-based learning builds the critical competencies today's students need—adaptability, communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and cultural awareness. These are the skills that prepare them for success in an AI-driven workplace and facilitate a globally connected future.
