UNESCO’s call for equity of technology in education earlier this year marks a significant push for not only investing in, but also the understanding of technology’s role in education. They highlighted that technology must be used appropriately in education, noting that the student’s best interests come first, but also for educators and teachers to have a solid foundation of knowledge on current and emerging technologies. 

In this context, technology continues to revolutionize global education in 2023, offering innovative learning and teaching opportunities through advancements in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and extended reality. Keeping up with these technologies in the realm of education can prove to be challenging, which is why Youth Tech Fest Cyprus 2023 is a critical event of 2023, uniting technology leaders, visionaries, and enthusiasts with the vibrant youth of Cyprus.

This festival, a melting pot of innovation, is proud to announce the participation of over 50 private and public schools along with various educational centers.
