FUTURE ED NOW

Conversation Series

Future Ed Now is where we bring to you the latest evidence-based innovations in education be they techniques or technologies, content or curriculum with the goal towards speeding up the supremely slow pace of change that is the education industry.

On Future Ed Now. We are solutions focused and though we are painfully aware of the antiquated state of education we strive to go past the negative low hanging fruit of complaining about the various problems in education (and they are legion) and bring to you experts in the industry who represent the future because they need to be shared and spread and quite simply, we can be better.

Students as Changemakers

A generation of young people are already 'taking action' on issues of importance and interest to them, creating a generation of Young Changemakers. While much of this is happening outside of schools, such as the #FridaysforFuture movement, educators are perfectly placed to embed Changemaking into their classroom and curriculum. Changemaker education develops real-life skills, equipping students for the now and the future.
