Future-readiness for Education
INTEGRATE FUTURES THINKING INTO YOUR EDUCATION STRATEGY
Teachers bridging the gap between school curriculum and the fast-moving world
In the City of Espoo, the educational administration department uses Futures Platform for education development. High school students were also acquainted with the Futures Platform foresight tool. They were impressed with what they saw, considering the platform an important tool for developing foresight and their knowledge around areas covered by compulsory subjects.
Leveraging Futures Platform for planning the future of education
What are the skills and knowledge that people will need to thrive in the future working life and society in general? How can these skills be taught in the education system? Which new methods will teachers and the education administration need? These were some of the key questions that the Finnish National Agency for Education sought to answer through its 2-year foresight program that leveraged Futures Platform.
”The discussions were exceptionally productive and captivating. At the same time, they continuously encouraged the participants to think about the strategy of their own company.”
