We live in a time of unprecedented global challenges. Our education systems are divided into disciplinary silos that work against joined-up approaches and solutions. Much research suggests we need learning to focus on creative collaboration and empathy. Rapid tech advances, as well as innovative pedagogies informed by scientific research and/or artistic approaches, offer opportunities to make innovation in learning widely accessible with the potential to accelerate innovation and support a much needed, and in-depth, change of mindset . This panel will discuss how we can re-imagine learning to deliver the UN SDGs and to more fully realise individual and collective human potential.
When research reveals the limitations of STEM, why do we persist with this pedagogic model?
