This week’s episode is about one of the most urgent challenges of our time: how we prepare young people for a world that keeps changing faster than our schools.
My guest, Mercedes Miguel, has dedicated her life to answering that question. From her early days as a teacher to her current role as Minister of Education for Buenos Aires, she’s been at the center of some of the most transformative projects in Argentina’s education system — connecting learning with purpose, and classrooms with the real world.
In our conversation, we explore:
🎓 What it really means to educate for the future
🤝 How to bridge the gap between policy and the classroom
⚽ Her partnership with River Plate Football Club, helping young athletes continue their academic growth
💡 And the power of empathy and adaptability in leadership
Mercedes speaks with both depth and humanity, bringing the perspective of a leader, a teacher, and a mother of three daughters.
If you care about the future of learning, this is an episode that will stay with you.
