Oförsagd’s talk on the first festival day focuses on how to lead the development of secondary education services strategically and with an understanding of people. There is a wide range of people working in secondary education, from different backgrounds and of different ages. How can we create an educational model that supports each individual’s ability to achieve their dreams? How do we ensure that the service we provide is of real value to all who are part of the system? How do we dare to put people’s needs and dreams at the center of development?
