Education Futures is assembling a book (or series of short books) on emerging education futures: experiences and visions from the field. The target audience consists of educators and policymakers across the globe, and the objective of the project is to share diverse experiences, provoke conversation, and facilitate new ideas for meeting human capital development needs in rapidly transforming societies. This project aims to present a 'snapshot' of our best thinking and experiences as we look toward the future.

As this book project desires to bring forward voices from the field, this call invites a broad range of topics. In particular:

Chapters with essay themes are encouraged in the general topics of:

  • (Re)defining knowledge and innovation for the modern age and implications for education
  • Developing and applying imagination, creativity, and innovation
  • Invisible learning and global experiences with non-traditional approaches to teaching and learning
  • New knowledge formats and applications of knowledge
  • Approaches for realizing the principles of Manifesto 15
  • Free play and self-directed education
  • Approaches and experiences in redesigning higher education
  • Educating for changemakers
  • Rethinking relationships between technology, learning, and learners
  • Policy experiences in promoting innovative approaches to learning
  • Educating for knowmad society

Chapters with research and research methodology themes are invited in the topic areas of:

  • Futures research methodologies that are impactful in the fields of education and/or human capital development
  • Foresight into futures for education and/or the workforce

Finally, proposals for short creative works and photo essays may also be submitted for consideration.
