OOR

Teach the Future is 'n wêreldwye nie-winsgewende beweging wat 'toekomsgeletterdheid' as 'n lewensvaardigheid bevorder  vir studente en opvoeders.

In 'n vinnig ontwikkelende wêreld is dit noodsaaklik om te leer hoe om onsekere en voortdurend veranderende toekoms te hanteer. Kom ons berei ons volgende generasies voor met hierdie vaardighede in die klaskamer!

​

Ons strewe is dat elke student bereid is om 'n onsekere wêreld te navigeer en die agentskap het om hul voorkeur-toekoms te verbeel en te skep.


Ons missie is om toekomsdenkvaardighede aan studente en opvoeders regoor die wêreld te leer en om hulle te inspireer om hul toekoms te beïnvloed.

Waarom is onderrig in die toekoms belangrik?

Ons weet dat hoop vir die toekoms 'n primêre voorspeller van sukses is, maar skole bied min praktiese hulpmiddels om studente te help om sin te maak van verandering of om hul rol in die vorming van die toekoms te verken.  

 

Ons glo dat jongmense van enige ouderdom kan leer om krities en kreatief oor die toekoms te dink en die agentskap te ontwikkel om dit te beïnvloed.  

 

Die Teach the Future-gemeenskap is toegewy daaraan om toekomsdenke na skole, opvoeders en studente regoor die wêreld te bring. Deur die toekoms te leer, kan jy jongmense toerus om onsekerheid die hoof te bied en hulle te help om hul voorkeur-toekoms voor te stel en te skep.

​

Teach the Future ondersteun die 2030-agenda vir volhoubare ontwikkeling en die volhoubare ontwikkelingsdoelwitte , veral SDG 4: "om inklusiewe en billike kwaliteit onderwys te verseker en lewenslange leergeleenthede vir almal te bevorder."

​

Die Teach the Future- kurrikulum (in verskeie formate) word in skole (of na skoolure) regoor die wêreld aangebied.

Watter impak wil ons bereik?

Deur vandag toekomsdenke in klaskamers te kry, wil ons langtermynuitkomste vir toekomstige geslagte bereik:

​

  • Stimuleer toekomsbewussyn

  • Aktiveer verskillende maniere van dink (krities en kreatief)

  • Leer die vermoë om verandering te navigeer en te beïnvloed in die lig van onsekerheid en kompleksiteit

  • Raak betrokke by beter besluitneming

  • Skep meer aktiewe burgers

  • Vok meer empatie aan, veral vir toekomstige geslagte, in die oplossing van maatskaplike kwessies

Team

How did it all start?

Teach the Future was founded by American professor Peter Bishop. Peter led the University of Houston Master's in Foresight program for 30 years and wrote Teaching About the Future with his colleague, Andy Hines. Upon his retirement in 2013 he initiated Teach the Future because he felt that futures thinking should not only be taught at universities but made accessible from an early age on. In the past years Peter’s mission for Teach the Future has spread out over the world and is still spreading….
