How do we learn in a world that is becoming increasingly digitalised and where artificial intelligence is becoming more and more important?
How can we thrive in a world where AI is becoming more and more important? Stefan Lemke, policy adviser for future skills at the Ministry of Education of Schleswig-Holstein, has developed the concept of educational sovereignty. The idea revolves around the individual's will, curiosity and lifelong learning. In this era of increasing digitalisation, Lemke argues, “The concept of educational sovereignty is a kind of framework behind the Digital Learning Campus, for me. And it means that you can make decisions about what you are interested in and where you invest your time and your power to develop yourself or to use future technologies for yourself. The goal is to find a space for this educational sovereignty and for the digital learning campus in the education system.”

“One big subject is technical things. For example, augmented reality is a big future technology for a lot of people and for a lot of companies. And robotics is a growing field right now.
And I think we have to anticipate these technologies and bring them to the people, to a big group of people, to be able to work with that and to invent new stuff. And be producers of our future ourselves and not only be consumers of these technologies,” he concludes.
