Online seminar on the future of education on June 8th and 9th, 2021

 

There is still time to register for the seminar. You can find more information on the "Learning Future - Futures of Learning" net site. I have participated in many Futures Conferences during past years, and I can recommend it heartily. The conferences have always been very inspiring, and I have met many interesting people. This year the social connection will likely be weaker since it is an online event. 

The conference is promoted on the net site as follows: "As we move further into the 21st century, we need to renew our understanding of what it means to learn, teach, and develop new knowledge. Education systems and learning processes for people of all ages are needed to navigate uncertainty, address known problems, identify new ones, and be able to detect and make the sense of emergent issues and opportunities. The roles of education and learning are also becoming more essential in solving the pressing global ecological, cultural, societal and economic challenges. One pathway for renewal is the development of futures learning at all levels of education and in wider society."

The organizers are:  

• Finland Futures Research Centre (FFRC)
• Finland Futures Academy (FFA)
• Finnish National Agency for Education (EDUFI)

I will present my paper on "The future of personalized education - The philosophical and practical problems to be solved" in the seminar. Hope to "see" you there.
