\nEDUCATION DRIVES CHANGE
\n\u00a8The Role of Education in Innovation\u00a8<\/p>\n

In a period of 20 years the city of Medellin evolved from being the most violent city in the world, to being internationally recognized as the most innovative city in the world.\u00a0\u00a0 This process of transformation was made possible by many key factors primarily:\u00a0 The metro system, Empresas Publicas de Medellin, Integrated Urban Plans, The Innovation District, (Ruta N) and most importantly Education and Culture.\u00a0 Placing Education and Culture high on the list of city priorities played a central role in the transformation of the city by bringing people together to move forward from traditional socio-economic paradigms and into the twenty first century.<\/p>\n

\u00a8Medellin La Mas Educada\u00a8\u00a0 (Medellin the Most Educated)<\/p>\n

The project began during the administration of Mayor Sergio Fajardo (2004-2007).\u00a0 This project is a city model based on education as the main tool for social transformation, and the creation of opportunities, to overcome inequity and to develop the skills needed for the twenty first century.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This project sought to increase access and permanence in education for all the children and youth of Medellin.<\/p>\n

For 2017, the Colombo Americano, Tennessee State University and Vanderbilt University would like to coordinate the second International University summit to strengthen the academic bonds that exist between Colombia and the United States.\u00a0 The focus will be on how education drives change and can serve as tool for innovation.\u00a0\u00a0 The transformation of Medellin will be used as a case study.\u00a0 The summit will bring together universities from Colombia and a number of HBCUs along with universities and schools in the United States to discuss and analyze how Higher Education Institutions (HEI) can be instrumental in driving change and innovation in their communities. In Colombia we wish to work with smaller HEIs just beginning their process of internationalization, as we believe these are the institutions that are in greater need of this type of training. We will also be working with much more experienced universities as they can share best practices and guide the smaller HEIs in Colombia.\u00a0Attention will be given to innovative ways community and other institutions with limited funding can establish international opportunities for their students. Finally, priority will be given to universities that partner with Binational Centers (BNCs) and EducationUSA centers in Colombia to bring American Education and Culture to their cities.<\/p>\n

The 2017 Global Pathways Summit will be a three-day summit held at Higher Education Institutions in Nashville, TN (Tennessee State University, Vanderbilt University, and Belmont University).\u00a0 The summit will include presentations, case studies, open discussions and forums, institutional visits, cultural presentations, and one-on-one meeting sessions.<\/p>\n
