The Vital Syllabus: Plans and Opportunities
Details
Every serious discussion about significantly improving the future turns into a serious discussion about the need to significantly improve education.
That's my conclusion from hosting London Futurists events for thirteen years, and from researching, writing, and editing ten books about the future.
In the second half of last year, I created an online skeleton for what I call the Vital Syllabus, namely, a reliable source of educational material covering the most important skills and principles for people to flourish in the 2020s and beyond. These are the skills and principles that are particularly relevant in our age of multiple pressures, dizzying opportunities, daunting risks, and accelerating disruption.
The Vital Syllabus project is now building more momentum. This online gathering is an open meeting covering:
- Why this project is urgently needed
- Recent progress made - and issues encountered
- Suggestions about the best ways forward
- How the "group intelligence" of London Futurists can improve the chance of the project being successful.
