The future is not what it used to be: A systemic perspective for knowledge building
Welcome to the Flash Course The Future Is Not What It Used to Be!
In this brief but thought-provoking session, you’ll be invited to rethink how knowledge is constructed through a systemic lens. We’ll journey from ancient human practices, which highlight the value of flexible, context-driven structures to the industrial age, which reshaped education and professional development through a culture of individualism. Finally, we’ll explore the concept of the creative ecosystem as a framework for addressing contemporary challenges and reimagining how we learn, collaborate and evolve in an increasingly complex world.
