FOI 2023 – Noah Sobe, UNESCO – Reimagining Education Together

To book tickets for ‘Reimagining Education Together’ please visit this page.

Joining us will be Noah W. Sobe professor at Loyola University Chicago who helped to lead the research and drafting of the UNESCO flagship report Reimagining our futures together: A new social contract for education.

Noah argues that ‘confining children to the future and the future to children means that it is all too easy to kick problems down the road’.

This session takes place during ‘Assemble in the Forest’ – a festival full of adventure, to enjoy culture, to celebrate beauty and biodiversity and to showcase the imagination of our community. As the world struggles with a climate emergency, COVID aftermath, injustice – this is the time to collectively and creatively imagine how things can be different.
