ABSTRACT: The 21st century is a world in constant change. Here we will take up the challenge of understanding how the forces of change can not only be managed, but how they inspire and invite us to imagine a future of learning that is as powerful as it is optimistic. We will look at the challenges that our education and learning environment face in a fresh way.
By exploring play, innovation, and the cultivation of the imagination as cornerstones of learning, we sketch a vision of learning for the future that is easily achievable and that grows along with the technology that fosters it and the people that engage with it. We are striving for an arc of life learning that shows us a way to follow our passions and make sense of a world that is constantly growing, evolving and changing.
