Preparing children for an uncertain future

Saku Tuominen, creative director of HundrED, a mission from Finland to help schools change by sharing inspiring innovations in education

The world is transforming in many areas: climate change, new technology reaching sci-fi levels and robots taking care of jobs. Often instead of on paper, we read this news from our mobiles or iPads.

As the world is changing fast, schools need to change with it.

For some reason, we often seem to approach the need for change from the wrong direction. New projects and ways of working are pushed to be tried out in schools. This may exhaust teachers, pull focus out of the right things and potentially waste valuable time that could be used to educate children.

At the same time we are fully aware that a lot of the changes the world is facing are global. It’s more than likely that someone, somewhere has already come up with solutions to make schools more suitable for future needs.
