Competencies for an Inclusive World of the 21st Century
Globalization and rationalization (ASEAN) bring both opportunities and challenges. They bring innovation, new experiences, and higher living standards. They also contribute to economic inequity and social division.
It is suggested that this generation (Generations Z and Alpha) requires new capacities.
In the globalized society, young people need to collaborate with people from different disciplines, cultures and value systems, in a way that solves complex problems and creates economic and social capital. They need cross-cultural communication competences.
They need to bring judgement and action to difficult situations in which people’s beliefs and standards are at odds. How should they deal with such complexities.

For some years, educators have been discussing how best to build these capacities. The capacities to engage diversity fruitfully, and the need to harmonize differences.
Is there a distinctive competence that equips young people for the culturally diverse and digitally-connected communities in which they work and socialize?
Can students learn to apply knowledge, skills, values and attitudes, in order to act creatively, collaboratively and ethically? How can they do that?
As teachers, what can we do to build up such the capacities?
