Future Studies | A course proposal in WiserUniversity
Edit this Page
Mariya (Shall) suggested an online course on "Future Studies" for high school students (especially in the US). Anyone care to help develop the course curriculum, resources and group learning method? or join the discussion to help with the effort?
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futures_studies#Education
Futures education can encourage the use of concepts, tools and processes that allow students to think long-term, consequentially, and imaginatively. It generally helps students to:
1. conceptualise more just and sustainable human and planetary futures
2. develop knowledge and skills in exploring probable and preferred futures
3, understand the dynamics and influence that human, social and ecological systems have on alternative futures
4, conscientize responsibility and action on the part of students toward creating better futures.
