Students almost always welcome futures thinking with open minds; they like future workshops a lot. Teachers are also generally attracted to the future despite being skeptical about their capacity to make noticeable changes.

But changing the minds of parents is so hard. They expect schools, teachers and their children to act according to their principles. In our workshops for the parents, we try to inform them about the necessary skills for success in future and to shake their assumptions. While future-conscious parents can facilitate educational reforms, future-blind parents are the formidable barriers of any change.
