  • Education and learning systems are at a critical juncture. The climate crisis, the pervasive rise of Artificial Intelligence, growing inequality and societal divisions compel us to rethink the role of education in shaping shared futures. Education is crucial to this change of course. It has great potential to help shape more just, inclusive and sustainable futures by rebalancing our relationships with each other, the living planet and technology. Yet, to do so, education itself must be transformed. Learn more https://lnkd.in/g6caTWiH #EducationReimagined #PossibleFutures #NewSocialContract #TeachingForChange

  • "Confronting the climate crisis requires more than just scientific knowledge or policy solutions. It demands a profound shift in how we show up, think, relate, collaborate, and act. By broadening the concept of climate literacy to include transformative inner skills, this guide calls on educators and practitioners to foster the human capacities essential for collective action. Skills like self-awareness, sense-making, long-term orientation, creativity, trust, and courage are not just complementary to technical know-how; they are the essential tools that empower individuals to move from understanding to implementation." #ClimateLiteracy #IDGsForTheSDGs #DoingDifferently #GreeningEducation 🌱

    Last month (20/09/2024), at the Summit For the Future: Our common agenda, United Nations SDG Action Campaign featured a live visual scribe who translated the powerful exchange of ideas into vibrant visual representations. By connecting youth voices with creative expression, the visual scribe underscored the role of art as a catalyst for change and reinforced the importance of youth-led initiatives in shaping a future aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals. Take a look at the 'Hope in Action' art exhibition. The work of the artists will take your breath away. ✨Rise United 💫 Cultivating Change 🌟 Youth Hope ✨ are three that I continue to reflect on after exploring the digital arts exhibit. https://lnkd.in/eHsMckxH #ARtivism #YouthLeaders #UNGA #PossibleFutures #SummitoftheFuture Learn more about the proceedings here, https://lnkd.in/ezqtbDbA

  • James Tyler Williams spoke at Culture Con about embracing the present and the concept of "failing forward." He emphasized that failure is not a setback but a valuable learning opportunity, allowing creators to grow and innovate through repeated attempts. His insights resonated with attendees, highlighting the importance of resilience and adaptability in creative endeavours This messaging is applicable to Leath and learners as a whole, not solely creatives Failing is a learning opportunity. F - first A - attempt I - [in]terative L - learning View failures as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles. After each attempt, take time to analyze what worked and what didn’t. Iterative learning allows for continuous improvement and deeper understanding as each attempt builds on previous experiences, leading to more accurate and reliable outcomes. Understand that mastery takes time and multiple attempts. 🚀 Share this mindset with peers or colleagues to foster a supportive environment. #WednesdayWisdom #insights #LearningLeader #CultureCon

  • 🔍 Curriculum flexibility and autonomy are crucial considerations for policy makers, practitioners and learners, as they enable targeted opportunities for diverse learners and for new developments. They also support a growth mindset in which stakeholders engage with each other to navigate vulnerabilities, uncertainties, complexities and ambiguities. 🎯 Prescriptive or restrictive curricula are unlikely to nurture transformative competencies. Creating new value, resolving tensions and dilemmas, or taking responsibility for their own learning require students and teachers to reflect on their own actions and those of others as well as find a sense of purpose, intrinsic motivation and future aspirations. These kind of values and attitudes can be fostered through curriculum flexibility and autonomy. 🚀 Untapped opportunities in curriculum flexibility and autonomy lie with the students, and with EdTech industries, which remain largely disconnected from the learning ecosystem. The design of a student-centred, concept-based and competency-driven curriculum is a continuous effort in many countries, and its implementation still requires consistent pedagogies and assessment. 🧭 The OECD - OCDE Future of Education and Skills 2030 (E2030) project, which will evolve into Education 2040, was launched in 2015 to help countries adapt their education systems to better meet the demands of the 21st century. Specifically, the project aims to support countries in their efforts to respond to the following far-reaching questions: “What” questions - what kinds of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values are necessary for students and teachers to understand, engage with and shape a changing world towards a better future in 2030? “How” questions - how to design learning environments that can foster these competencies, i.e. how to design and implement future-oriented curricula? 🛣 To successfully foster the competencies it sets out, education systems need to design future-oriented curricula that are appropriate and relevant to their local context. This is part of the “how” question, which the E2030 project addresses by conducting rigorous international curriculum analysis (i.e. descriptive, rather than prescriptive, with the goal of supporting curriculum change processes that are more evidence-based). This has resulted in a series of six thematic reports exploring key policy challenges faced by governments related to curriculum reform [https://lnkd.in/eepDTSaB]. 🙇🏽♀️ Interested in gaining insights on curriculum flexibility and autonomy, dive in by clicking thought the embedded link below.
