JAMES MANNION
A shared vision of the future?
To rethink education, we need two things: a critique and a vision. The critique part is easy enough. But coming up with a shared vision of the future – a vision that goes beyond simply fixing the problems we currently face – is no mean feat. Over the last year, members of the Rethinking Education Mighty Network – an online community of over 700 people from all over the world – has been meeting monthly to take on this task. In this practical workshop, James will share what we’ve come up with so far – and invite you to join us in the task of establishing a positive vision of the future that we can all get behind. Let’s get together and think it through!
