“In a world of constant change, preparing the young (and not so young) to imagine a future they can then create has never been more important.  The ability to thrive in ambiguity, see around the corners, adapt and innovate are the superpowers of today, and we need to release our brilliant teachers from the shackles of an outdated system designed for standardisation and conformity of a post industrial revolution era long past.  The future is about fearless experimentation, driven by curiosity of a future we cannot predict, and the courage to fail brilliantly as we find our way.  The work of the FED helps uis reimagine an education that will propel us into an exciting future.”
