A short introduction for my poster essay ‘in the making’..
Let’s fix education
How can education be(come) a more flexible environment which is adaptive to change(s)
***
Our education seems to be broken. We are still educating mostly like the way we did a hundred years ago. Changes in education take a long time to integrate and are therefore hard to design. We are in need of a flexible environment in which education can (easily) adapt to change(s).
Nowadays the change (and innovation) is coming from designers and makers. We put a lot of faith in designers to change the wicked problems of tomorrow. Can we learn to redesign (or fix) education with this designer-maker approach?
In our fragmented educational landscape we are in need of more grip on succesfull innovations. The challenge is to discover this (maybe even artistic) freedom and activate the possibilities of it. Let’s change!
