We’re grateful to all who contributed to the workshop and looking forward to continuing the conversation at our next workshop in November
young children interact with a museum exhibit. Text: A New Social Contract. Learning happens in libraries, museums and communities. Is formal schooling still the best model? Is the current social contract for education fit to deliver education for the future? A bored young adult sits by a pile of books. Text: Rethinking What We Teach. Is our education system truly serving learners, or is it falling short? What’s working, what’s failing, and is deeper transformation is needed? What is the purpose of education, and is what we teach failing learners? Reimagining Education in Scotland’s Future. From co-creation and global citizenship, to lifelong learning and sustainability. The way we learn and teach must evolve to meet the challenges of tomorrow. Reply below, share this post, be part of the conversation.

How can we incorporate the creative ideas of peoples beyond Scotland, and engage in global discussions and mutual learning? Can education be open to thinking, ideas and world-views from elsewhere? Photo of people comparing graphs. Text: Protecting Education. As pressures from market forces and political cycles grow, how do we ensure education is sustainably resourced while being safeguarded from the short-termism of politics and profit? How can we ensure education is free of politics and commodification?

How should teacher education be structured to foster interdisciplinary learning for the future?
