Co-design learning, civic and career pathways in Cities of Learning

Teave

In the previous learning playlist “Future makers” you were invited to imagine and build your future learning, civic and career pathways by exploring Global Youth Skills. Another learning playlist “Pathway to Personal Leadership” hopefully prepared you to lead your own path to the future.
﻿
Now we call you to co-design learning, civic and career pathways for young people living in your city or region.
﻿
By completing activities of this learning playlist you will:
research and imagine futures of your city or region;
think of your role in creating futures of learning, civic engagement and careers;
describe scenarios of possible futures;
create activities, playlists and badges for new learning pathways.
﻿
Complete all the activities offered in this learning playlist. Upload your results and thoughts on future skills to collect activity badges. Unlock the top-level badge in this playlist.

Teave

When we are starting a new futures thinking project, or meeting with a group to talk about the future, the Future Four-Square game proposed by the Institute for the Future is the perfect way to see where people stand. Are we worried about the future? Are we hopeful? Do we have ideas for actions they can take, today, to make the future better?
﻿
The results of the game can also suggest which type of futures thinking will be most helpful to you and your group to increase your ability to actively shape and change the future.
﻿
How to play this game?
﻿
Pick a future topic (such as the future of learning, the future of civic engagement, the future of careers)
When you think about your chosen Future topic: on a scale of 1 to 10, do you think it’s getting better or worse? Right now, overall, is this future headed in a better direction, or a worse one? (10 is much better, 1 is much worse).
When you think about the same Future topic: on a scale from 1 to 10, how much power do YOU personally have to shape or influence that future, and help decide whether it gets better or worse? (10 is a lot of power, 1 is no power).
