Write up: Future Council and the Future of Learning - Why Future Council Is Both a Mirror and a Map 

Lottie Dowling, a school practitioner and professional learning leader, shares how Future Council empowers children to move beyond protest and into real-world leadership.

She writes, “for educators, Future Council is both a mirror and a map: it reflects students’ urgent desire to act for people and the planet, and it shows the way for schools to design future-ready learning, where inquiry, ethics, systems thinking and agency are centrally placed and subject knowledge can reflect the world young people see around them.”

Through education, young people can be equipped to shape a better future through agency, systems thinking, and collective action. Read the article here.

In partnerships with Cool.org we have developed free curriculum resources for teachers to assist in bringing the learning of the film into the classroom. Learn more about the resources available to teachers here.

"Future Council is a must-see for anyone reimagining education to prepare learners not only for the world as it is, but for the world to come."
