Futures of Education Forum "How nurture worldview and conviction for leading a sustainable lifestyle?" "How teach Fair Global Citizenship?" "How introduce best practice examples into schools?" Youth declared these questions our common no.1 priority when Mapping the Future at Futur-Congress Berlin, 8 June 2004. (LINK) The conventional schooling system does not provide such qualifications. The UN Decade on Education for Sustainable Development is pointing in the right direction, but there is more! The Futures of Education Forum serves to collect, present, share and disseminate different, alternative, succesful, avantgarde models for learning. Knowledge of succesful avantgarde practice in teaching and learning will empower youth, learners and teachers to apply and introduce these for re-shaping their learning environments under the perspective of qualifying youth for active democratic participation and taking the lead - in advancing societies towards sustainability. Themes to be featured in the Forum include Status Quo of education Approaches to education Old and new ways of learning Omnicultural learning Postcolonial education Alternative schools & learning environments Self-development, self-guided learning Global learning, education for sustainable development Global sustainability education GSE GSE curricula Online projects Avantgarde e-learning Lifelong learning Integrated sciences courses Unmapped fields of new learning
