One of the overarching aims of the Beyond Current Horizons programme is to ‘enhance the futures thinking capacity of the UK education system’. With that in mind I’ve been talking with Teachers TV about ways of developing futures literacy amongst learners and teachers.
A quick post to point to a couple of links – the first, a developed version of a presentation given during the ‘Building the Future’ workshop we ran at SMARTlab by an inspirational architect/designer, Alex Hall; the second a link to the Ufi’s latest Vision 2020 – asking ‘leading voices’ about What Employers Want.
Predictions and forecasts of possible futures, even when based on the latest research or invention can sometimes appear ludicrous. Past predictions can often seem laughable for appearing to be so incorrect, but although they may not have come to fruition as expected, there are elements of many past predictions that were pointing to an appropriate field, if not a specific device or activity.
