This joint publication by Global Education Futures and SKOLKOVO, arguably one of the most comprehensive practical guides to “thriving ecosystems” to date, uses over 40 learning ecosystems from around the world as case studies. Its aim is to present “emerging approaches to co-developing learning ecosystems around the world, inspired and influenced by the fields of biology, ecology, social movements, technology, cosmology, design, innovation, systems leadership and more.”
Learning ecosystems are emerging as an interdisciplinary response to the growing complexity of the 21st century, at a time when humanity is changing the very trajectory of evolution on Earth and must take stock of the choices it has made so far as a species. Learning ecosystems offer a potential praxis for the future of education that can profoundly change the way we learn and shape our future together for collective liberation.
Summary
The increasingly complex and interdependent environmental, social, economic and cultural challenges facing humanity within our biosphere clearly indicate the need for societal transformation towards sustainable, life-enhancing futures. Learning ecosystems have the potential to unite diverse stakeholders in collective learning for mutually beneficial outcomes that lead to desired futures for humanity and all life on Earth. Throughout this report, various case studies reflect emerging approaches to co-developing learning ecosystems around the world, inspired and influenced by the fields of science, technology and communication
of learning around the world, inspired and influenced by the fields of biology, ecology, social movements, technology, cosmology, design, innovation, systemic leadership and much more. This research also builds on Global Education Futures“ 2018 report Educa- tional Ecosystems for Societal Transformation. The ideas reflected in this report explore (1) the skills, knowledge and ways of being that support lifelong and self-directed learning, (2) ecosystemic learning approaches and (3) how education systems can support collective flourishing, moving our global society towards resilience and long-term flourishing. Learning ecosystems are emerging as an interdisciplinary response to the growing complexity of the 21st century, at a time when humanity is altering the very trajectory of evolution on Earth and must take stock of the choices it has made so far as a species. Learning ecosystems offer a potential praxis for the future of education that can profoundly change the way we learn and shape our future together for collective liberation.
