Futures Literacy. Why is Futures Literacy important?

Futures Literacy

FL is important because imagining the future is what generates hope and fear, sense-making and meaning. The futures we imagine drive our expectations, disappointments and willingness to invest or to change. We use the future every day. We predict, we fear and we hope. Anticipation is a powerful force shaping what we see and do, but we do not think very often about why or how we use the future. UNESCO is building a Global Futures Literacy Network Starting in 2012 UNESCO began shifting its foresight activities towards the development of Futures Literacy and the Discipline of Anticipation. Over the last few years 8 UNESCO chairs have been initiated in Finland, Greece, Italy, Malaysia, Netherlands, Tunisia, United Kingdom, Uruguay. A special project is also underway, the Imagining Africa’s Futures project, funded by the OCP Foundation of Morocco, is providing an exceptional opportunity to conduct prototype testing of UNESCO’s Futures Literacy Laboratories.

The rise of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic

Globally, over 1.2 billion children are out of the classroom. As a result, education has changed dramatically, with the distinctive rise of e-learning, whereby teaching is undertaken remotely and on digital platforms. Research suggests that online learning has been shown to increase retention of information, and take less time, meaning the changes coronavirus have caused might be here to stay.

European Vocational Skills Week 2020 - Employment, Social Affairs & Inclusion

This year VET stakeholders are encouraged to organise Week-associated digital events and activities in the Member States at local, regional and national level to promote VET. These can be webinars, digital press campaigns, online careers fairs, Facebook Live, Instagram Live or other mainly online gatherings.

The Bologna Process and the European Higher Education Area

The Bologna Process seeks to bring more coherence to higher education systems across Europe. It established the European Higher Education Area to facilitate student and staff mobility, to make higher education more inclusive and accessible, and to make higher education in Europe more attractive and competitive worldwide.

The Future of knowledge use in societal decision-making

The improvement of the balance of information supply and demand and the strengthening of the position of scientific knowledge are important goals, but they alone are not enough. A new mindset, new ways of working at the knowledge-policy interface and structures that facilitate these new ways are required. This scientist made a Google Doc to educate the public about airborne coronavirus transmission. Why did you make this document instead of going down the traditional science publishing route? Science publishing is very slow. Realizing the promise: How can education technology improve learning for all?

Leading up to the 75th anniversary of the UN General Assembly, this “Realizing the promise: How can education technology improve learning for all?” Publication kicks off the Center for Universal Education’s first playbook in a series to help improve education around the world. It is intended as an evidence-based tool for ministries of education, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, to adopt and more successfully invest in education technology. While there is no single education initiative that will achieve the same results everywhere—as school systems differ in learners and educators, as well as in the availability and quality of materials and technologies—an important first step is understanding how technology is used given specific local contexts and needs.

The surveys in this playbook are designed to be adapted to collect this information from educators, learners, and school leaders and guide decisionmakers in expanding the use of technology.

(Via REUTERS) While the smell of barbecue might still have permeated the air of back yards and parks across America this past Labor Day weekend, the end of summer 2020 feels far from festive.

More than 55 million Americans who have been out of work didn’t have a holiday to celebrate, and unemployment around the world remains at record highs as countries struggle to control the pandemic and take measured steps to rebound from shutdowns and the recessions that followed. Formal Representation for Young People Enhances Politics for All. According to UN Youth (opens in new window), people aged 15-24 make up one-sixth of the world’s population but, in roughly one-third of countries, the eligibility for parliamentarians begins at 25 years old and only 1.6% of parliamentarians are in their twenties.

Young people are largely being excluded and overlooked, both as political candidates and even as participants in political processes, giving them limited political control over their own futures.

Reading time around four minutes – read it, like it, and post a comment! Council Post: The Future Of Learning: Top Five Trends For 2020. We’re just a few months into the new decade, and it’s abundantly clear that learning and development (L&D) will continue to top corporate agendas in 2020 as businesses adapt to the ways that their employees prefer to learn. Employee ranks are increasingly composed of Generation Z, who are just entering the workforce, and millennials — all who have grown up as digital natives. And, in a Deloitte survey, 90% of respondents said their organizations were redesigning jobs, and a tight labor market will make it imperative for them to ensure that existing employees and learners are more engaged and can evolve with the company.

The shift to online learning and skills training shows promising trends and troubling signs. Jeannette Sanchez, Communication Officer, Employment Policy Department. Decoding Global Trends in Upskilling and Reskilling. Willingness to Learn If people feel that their livelihoods are affected by global megatrends, it follows that they are willing to devote time to learning new skills in order to stay relevant in their jobs.

We found that close to two-thirds of respondents (65%) spend significant time on learning each year, from a few weeks to a few months. We also found substantial regional differences in people’s willingness to learn. Embodied Learning in Adult Education. Embodied learning. Goal 4: Quality Education.
