Changing education for a changing world" is the theme of the Going Global 2012 event, held by the British Council. The proposition of Going Global 2012 is that education can change the future of the world: it has the ability to shape and connect the lives of its citizens. But to do this would require us all to radically re-think the nature of our universities and colleges.

Going Global 2012 will explore these challenges through three key themes:

- The future world
- The connected world
- Winners and losers
