Why we teach
We know that hope for the future is a primary predictor of success, but schools offer few practical tools to help students make sense of change or to explore their role in shaping the future. By teaching the future, you can engage students and motivate them to learn, equip students to face uncertainty and challenge, empower them to envision a preferred future, and develop agency to bring it about.
Teach the Future is a non-profit organisation dedicated to bringing foresight and futures thinking to schools and students around the world. By teaching the future we equip teachers and youngsters to face uncertainty and empower them to envision and create their preferred future. We spread and activate our mission inside as well as outside the class room and in collaboration with organisations and advocators worldwide.
Our goals
Teaching the future is crucial for a multitude of reasons and touches upon global challenges, such as a changing workplace, emerging climate changes, upcoming technologies and so on.
Investing in futures education will help teachers to prepare their students for changes and deal with uncertainties. Teaching the future can be integrated into any type of subject, from mathematics to language classes, and from biology to drawing classes.
