Education always served the purpose of preparing citizens to participate in public life. Today, the mission is broader: prepare us to navigate in a rapidly changing world, with enormous challenges at a global scale. The strictly cognitive view is now being asked to embrace a more holistic view of the world and the individual. But we are now looking at new spaces of education, new ways of teaching and learning that are breaking the educational models as we have always known. How can the book industry leverage this transformation and grant us the passport to the world?

Book 2.0 embraces an ethos of continuous progress. Can we take the preservation of wisdom in a digital age to the next level? Can we thrive sustainably? Can we continue to feed our educational systems? How can leadership foster such commitment? Are we prepared to contribute to sustainable, inclusive and thriving ecosystems? How can we cultivate excellence? Book 2.0 aims to inspire a future where books continue to shape minds, and ultimately society.
