FreshEd #173 – UNESCO’s Futures of Education Project (Noah Sobe)
In the past few episodes, we have spent a lot of time discussing the future: the future of unions, the future of the planet, the future of propaganda, the future of democracy and so on. But how can we even begin to conceptualize the idea of future? My guest today is Noah Sobe, Senior Project officer for Education Research and Foresight at UNESCO. Later this week at the UN general assembly, he will be launching a project entitled “Futures of Education: Learning to Become.” This new project aims to generate global engagement and debate on learning and knowledge in relation to the multiple possible futures of humanity and of the planet. In our conversation, we interrogate the meaning of the future and what this might mean for education. This episode was put together in collaboration with Education International. www.freshedpodcast.com/futures/ Twitter: @FreshEdpodcast Facebook: FreshEd Email: info@freshedpodcast.com
