Future makers: are you ready?

Contenu

Based on the expert insights and interviews with young people, the Institute for the Future has created a profile of lead learners - a set of qualities, skills, strategies and resources that characterise young people who are the first to explore new paths to learning, careers and civic engagement.
﻿
﻿
Lead learners:
are able to imagine authentic personal futures;
use unique ways to shape their learning, civic and career paths;
strive to achieve their goals.
﻿
Lead learners have many common behaviour patterns that unite them regardless of geographical location. These models can inspire us to imagine the future of learning, work and civic engagement.
﻿
What about you? Do you have the traits that are necessary for future learning, civic engagement, and careers?
﻿
Evaluate your characteristics and behaviours individually, or together with the team, to see how much they coincide with or differ from the profiles of future makers.
﻿
To get a badge for this activity:
complete self-assessment worksheet and think about your traits and behaviours as a future maker;
if you have a team, share your results and talk with them;
upload the self-assessment print screen, image or file and reflect on the badge task.
﻿
Get inspiration from the young people who were interviewed for the Extreme Learner research project to understand and imagine how new technologies, new ecologies, and new practices are disrupting how we learn, what we learn and where we learn.
