Welcome to Futures of Education! We're an inter-generational podcast - in collaboration with Harvard's Human Flourishing Program - and at the forefront of collaborations to co-create new visions for the future of education.
Each month is based on one of 5 themes from a pioneering futures framework by Professor Keri Facer (2022):
- Education about the future. E.G. what is futures thinking and how can we use it to enhance our capacities in the present?
- Education for the Future. E.G. What sort of education to we need to prepare us for imagined futures?
- Education in the future. E.G. What might education be like in the future?
- Education from the future. E.G. How can we free education from the current narratives about the future?
- Education as healing. E.G. How can we use education to heal the injustices of the past.
The first episode of the month is a longer 30-40 minute conversation; the second is a shorter 10 minute disruptive idea.
The show is co-hosted by thought leaders of different ages. In designing our podcast in this manner we are role modelling the sort of inter-generational co-construction that we think is vital for the future of a flourishing humanity. We also attempt to vary the younger co-host each month so that as many opportunities as possible are created for younger change-makers to be involved.
