TEACH THE FUTURE

OCTOBER 4, 2023

How do we prepare our young people for a future that does not yet exist today?

It is impossible to predict the future. The aim of 'future science' as a subject is therefore to teach young people in secondary education how to deal with uncertainty and change.

We help them think about the consequences of possible future scenarios so that they make better decisions today.

Part 1 - Why teach about the future? The knowledge we used to learn at school is no longer in line with how we should deal with the future today. Since the emergence of the internet, educational objectives have changed and the way of teaching is evolving.  We explore the reasons why future thinking is important to provide attention in the classroom. For whom?

The policy and management of educational institutions.

Part 2 - How to teach about the future?

Get more insight into the practical tools and didactic  methods to get started with future literacy in your classroom. So the "how"!

​

Prof. Dr. Peter Bishop founded  Teach The Future  to bring future thinking to the classroom worldwide

​

For whom?
