Optimism is growing that we are entering an era where all children can educate themselves for a life worth living. It is important to appreciate, however, that it is not for lack of promising visions that Public Education has remained so unchanged. The implementation of visions is as important as the visions themselves, and poor implementations have been neutralizing good ideas for generations.
This session, using a secondary school-within-a-school pilot program, will look at how basic human nature, as it pertains to learning and change, factors in to creating conditions required for transforming schools.
The session will also
- consider SDG 4 in relation to other SDGs, because the ways young people obtain their education impacts communities and the environment.
- identify converging views on the nature of optimum education, such as respecting students’ human rights (please try to attend all our events at the Learning Planet Festival).
- draw on insights from the Planetizen University Youth Design Challenge and the Intergenerational leadership in Education initiative.
