We invite you to join the discussion on “Learning, Unlearning, and Relearning: Education for Planetary Futures.” Below is a full video of the panel and an invitation to join in the conversation!
What happens when we shift attention from the lessons learned - a topic which has occupied the attention of education policymakers and practitioners for decades - to what should be unlearned from our ongoing practice? In this roundtable discussion, Hikaru Komatsu, Charlotte Holland, Radhika Iyengar, and Tristan McCowan explore the promise of "unlearning" and what it entails, including a fundamental questioning of the established assumptions underlying the dominant system of modern schooling, acknowledging the limits of the status quo, and articulating alternatives. Moderated by Iveta Silova as a part of the NSF-funded project "Global Futures Oriented Research Collective on Education for Sustainability" (G-FORCES). March 6, 2024.

Here are a series of questions designed to provoke thought, inspire dialogue, and encourage you to share your views:
How can we think about education in radically different ways?
What are alternative educational models or practices or policies that embody the principles of unlearning and relearning?, and
How can we as educators and learners support one another to look beyond established norms and beliefs to encourage discussion and embrace the discomfort that often accompanies the process of unlearning?
