In search for new paradigm

Modern education system has been formed in the very beginning of XXth century and fostered social transition towards industrial society.
​Computers, networks, robots, bio-engineering and other emerging technologies requires a new way to organize human society. 
New education paradigm is emerging 
to foster such transition to desirable future.

Different education

Educational systems across the world embark on a search of a new paradigm which will let go of the old, standard-oriented, rigid and mechanistic system and will give rise to a new, creative, fluid and organic educational eco-system, centered around individual learners and communities. 
​
Because new education paradigm is emergent and organic, it cannot be mechanically “assembled”, or bought or copied from somebody who already knows “how to do stuff”. It can only be grown by those who already hold some of the keys of the future. 
Our intent
is to bring together
global educational innovators who want to create a society based on a collaboration, co-creation, collective wisdom, and compassionate development.

What is Futuriser?

Futuriser is a platform which invites and features experimental approaches, techniques, and practices for the Future in the present – primarily focused on, but not limited to, new models of education.
Futuriser is an incubator of “spaces of the future” that will weave best practices and education technologies into long-term initiatives, training courses and new collaborations of universities, cities, and online platforms.
Futuriser is an event that will initiate groups of glocal education changemakers, connect them with peers across the world, expand & strengthen their vision, and will help participating teams / projects to grow in the global educational space.
