Protopia Futuriser Cyprus 2016
New paradigm is neededModern education system has been formed in the very beginning of XXth century and fostered social transition of Western countries towards industrial society.
Computers, networks, robots, bio-engineering and other emerging technologies requires a new way to organize human society. We believe that human society is entering post-industrial age. And we need new education paradigm to foster such transition to desirable future. Different educationEducational 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. We should put learned and communities to the center.
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. |
