Ourrecommendations
13
1. Policy makers should continuously ensure that there is alignment within their system with a vision that is appropriate for the digital age.
2. Alignment needs to be grounded within an actionable vision that has buy-in from all stakeholders. Customise the ‘Individual fulfilment with Universal wellbeing’ vision (Yin-yang vision), which is a starting point for developing their own contextually relevant vision.
3. Use frameworks such as the UNESCO Framework (2011) as tools to guide alignment and implementation of the vision.
4. Use the recommendations from TWG7 about implementation of the vision development process.
