For a work that educates: youth and competences for transitions

Recognizing the need to view education as both lifelong and lifewide underscores the importance of professional settings as spaces where people can discover their talents and inclinations, fostering both personal and social fulfillment. This aspect urges organizations of all types and sizes to equip individuals with the competences and ethical values needed to continually adapt work processes with a focus on sustainability, understood as a virtuous balance between environmental protection, economic productivity, and human well-being. In particular, the development of new professions in a rapidly changing job market, characterized by high levels of uncertainty, calls for a proper understanding of the relationship between young people and work. It also highlights the importance of the personal, intersubjective, and context-specific dimensions of learning, within a circular dynamic between theory and practice.
