An event in the discussion series EDUCATING CHANGE within the framework of the MAK FUTURE LAB
We are facing ever new challenges. Everything seems to be in flux. Our familiar world of work is undergoing radical change—as a result not only of digitalization but also of climate change. But what seems to have remained unchanged over the decades is our traditional school system—with its grades, to include failing grades, and its teacher-centered approach to education. How does this format fit the new demands that jobseekers will be asked to meet? To what extent do the educational methods currently in vogue help master the challenges of such person-oriented skills as creative problem-solving, fostering team spirit, flexibility, and democratic empowerment? What can we teach young people about a world that they must learn to shape in ways quite different from those of previous generations? Museums too are educational institutions. How can they contribute to developing new educational methods, and what form can future cooperations between museums and schools take?
Panel members TBA
