Futures of education ::learning to become : how should what we learn, how we learn, and where we learn change in the future ?

Connecting minds and enhancing diversity are key to moving from mere awareness to fostering both inclusion and innovativeness in our futures of education. Inequalities around the globe are not new and neither are calls for more inclusiveness. Change needs to be educational, cultural, and political. Action is the responsibility of every one of us. This UNESCO Futures of Education: Learning to Become Stakeholder Focus Group, co-facilitated by Anne-Claude Lambelet, past president SIETAR Switzerland, and Jillaine Farrar, vice president SIETAR Switzerland, focused on how what we learn, how we learn, and where we learn will change in the future. Specialists contributed to the focus group from the fields of intercultural, inclusion, diversity, migration, human resources, international management, pedagogy, didactics, online training, and peace education. In two joint sessions in December 2020 and January 2021, the focus group met online to examine their views on the changing world, the broad purposes of education, and the implications for learning. Stephanie Magalage from UNESCO presented the parameters and overall goals of the UNESCO project to the focus group in the first session. With visions of the year 2050 and the exploration of the collective purposes of education, each of the focus group members listed co-authored this report. Special thanks to the reviewers who further synthesized the central points to consolidate the rich input for the international commission which will, in November 2021, provide an agenda for action and discussion by policymakers and practitioners
