Youth Summit

• The Nineteenth Annual Symposium on Partnerships in Education and the Sixth International Partnership Conference are joining forces to present a Global Partnership Summit on Learning, Employability and Citizenship. The aim of the Summit is to gather the best of partnership policy and practice from around the world that enhance student success, workforce development, corporate social investment and public sector policies for social inclusion.
• The National Association of Partners in Education and the International Partnership Network invite you to join partnership leaders and policy makers in a unique and timely endeavor to assess the value of partnerships and to shape the future of partnerships around the world.

• The organizing networks of Partners in Education and the IPN combine their worldwide connections and expertise to attract outstanding leaders, practitioners and representatives of youth to the Summit.
• The Summit program is carefully structured to attract a balance of contributions from education, government and corporate sectors enabling comparison between the best of partnership practice and policy around the world.
• The Summit is planned with a strong outreach dimension to the United States and the world beyond Washington, using electronic communication, teleconferencing and interaction with related events worldwide.
• Partners in Education and IPN are committed to a Summit format that produces outcomes in the form of communiqués, bulletins and a final report to influence public policy and future global partnership development.
• The International Partnership Marketplace focuses on award winning partnerships, youth projects, learning cities and international learning initiatives.
• The program includes award presentations to outstanding partnerships and a distinctive but integrated International Youth Summit Program.

• The three Summit strands of Learning, Employability and Citizenship are defined as the contexts within which the vast majority of partnerships have impact. The assertion that 'partnerships add value' will be rigorously examined in each of these three contexts.
• Learning: achieving higher standards through changing methodologies in school settings; strategies to improve access to learning through "out of school" learning centers for the disadvantaged and excluded; development of continuous learning centers within community organizations; electronic and distance learning; professional development; and the re-orientation of businesses as learning organizations.
• Employability: transferability of skills from formal education to the ever-changing workplace; workforce development or readiness; enterprise education and youth entrepreneurship; career education, guidance and preparation; large-scale programs of workforce re-education; training for small businesses and the self-employed; shared responsibility between education and business to cultivate employability skills; and qualities and attitudes for the adaptable workforce of the future.
• Citizenship: corporate social responsibility programs and social investment in communities; schools, colleges and university programs investing in the capabilities of their students to play an active and constructive part in their local communities; employee volunteer programs; service learning; family engagement; youth involvement; health and safety initiatives; multi-cultural and social inclusion initiatives, including indigenous groups; and initiatives for the disabled and "at-risk" members of the community.
• The National Association of Partners in Education provides leadership within and beyond the USA in the formation and growth of effective partnerships to ensure success for all students.
• The International Partnership Network promotes the exchange of information, practical experience and research around education, business and community partnerships worldwide.
