The idea of human education that has inspired generations of educators who, for centuries, have sought to realize this ideal through various school models and pedagogical approaches worldwide is being challenged today by multiple global crises:

1. The climate crisis, which calls into question the classical humanistic notion of the human person as the center of the universe and as the only agency entitled to dominate and exploit non-human nature. 
2. The marketization and commercialization of all spheres of social life, including education, processes that reduce human beings to units of labor and consumers of material goods. 
3. The digitalization of life through the widespread use of social media and AI, which threatens to impoverish interpersonal relationships and undermine the authorship of knowledge and of its acquisition 
4. The rapid increase in social inequalities, including inequalities in access to education of good quality. 
5. The global rise of authoritarian and totalitarian regimes that instrumentalize education for anti-democratic indoctrination of the youth and suppress independent and critical thinking. 

The Second Global Forum 2027 will take place from 17 to 19 February 2027 at the University of Nairobi, Kenya. Diversity of voices and perspectives will be a guiding principle of the Forum.
