This community conversation was hosted as part of Dysfunctions of the Decades & a Functional Future, a project which spotlights topics critical to building a sustainable future and culminates in a community-led pop-up arts and culture exhibit the evening of Earth Day, April 22nd at WOO Creative in Delray.
Hey Kids, the Future is Here. Are you ready?
As part of the Dysfunctions of the Decades & a Functional Future discussion series, we had the privilege of learning from Delray’s own space of mind founder, Ali Kaufman, about what the the future of education will look like in an automated economy.
Without question, the brilliance of SOM is THE FUTURE of education. Ali and her team of “coaches” (distinctly different from teachers) are already innovating the learning experience to include the life skills necessary to survive in a future where entrepreneurs and freelancers will have the employment advantage.
Only Humans Need Apply…
The key take-aways from this Community Conversation is that education needs to double down on that which makes us human: creativity, compassion and consciousness (or self-aware). Additionally, no matter what your age, to remain relevant in the work world, an extra helping of personal initiative and motivation will be required because lifelong learning is going to be the norm if you want to remain in the game.
You can check out the presentation from this Community Conversation here.
In addition to Ali, special thanks goes to Hope Atchinson, also a passionate innovator in educating the “whole human,” as she was going to also present this evening but was under the weather.
