As young people navigate an information age of streamlined pathways of data, the distinction between knowledge and skills becomes ever more urgently defined. With the gates of knowledge broken down, the well-informed are less impressive and competitive than the highly skilled. An Art History graduate with an encyclopaedic knowledge of African artifacts from 1500-1700 AD may end up being less likely to be promoted than a communications graduate with the ability to lead teams, identify the talents of others, and work flexibly with people of all different backgrounds, even if they are both working within a museum in Accra. Which brings with it another level of troubling times ahead; how can we define our skill set? How can we build our skill set? And what can you do to you strike a balance between knowledge and skills?

Join this one-hour talk with Head of THIMUN at Qatar Foundation, Fatima El Mahdi, to discover how to identify the skill sets that you currently have, and the skills sets that you have yet to achieve.
