THE FUTURE OF LEARNING

What should the future of learning look like? How will we design learning experiences for learners of today that matter to them now and tomorrow? How will we listen, explore and understand the emerging future and what is in the hearts of the learners we serve? 

How do we create schools that empower children and young people, enabling them to navigate and thrive in a complex world as competent, responsible leaders of their own lives, contributing positively to the communities they belong to? 

We have identified ten pathways to the future of learning as we reimagine and transform our schools to enable lives worth dreaming of for all our learners. Use the pathways individually or in combination to explore potential futures together for your school.

Needless to say that we would love to collaborate with you to bring inspiring futures to life in collaboration with learners and teachers. Don’t hesitate to reach out to Lene at any time.  

Let’s fuel our schools with  authentic learning experiences, learners’ passions, caring learning communities and learners as co-designers of their own learning journeys.

Let’s create learning environments that support multiple ways of learning, relationships and friendships and not least both collaboration and 

CREATIVITY, INNOVATION & ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Let’s explore creativity, innovation and hands-on projects that matters to students and the communities they are part of, and leave a mark. 

STUDENTS
AS CO-DESIGNERS
OF LEARNING

Let’s all be learners and all be teachers as we co-design the paths where we unfold and create new knowledge, skills and competences. 

PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES

Let’s work in teams to design learning experiences and support all our learners in ways that work for them. 21st century learning is definitely a team sport. 

Let’s create compassionate learning communities and support relationships and friendships, making every learner feel they matter,  belong and are appreciated for who they are.

Let’s play, explore, experiment and create as learning is best done by doing. And let’s do it together as learning is a social process. Make learning accessible in multiple ways to allow for choice and different needs.

WE ARE PART OF NATURE & a GLOBAL VILLAGE

Let’s reframe the way we live on our little planet to understand ourselves as part of nature and of each others lives. What is our relationship with the Global Sustainability Goals and how will we make a difference?

VIRTUAL LEARNING SPACES & DIGITAL CREATIVITY

Let’s harness the power of virtuel environments and embrace the fabulous opportunities to learn, create and connect while understanding the complexity and wicked questions of our digital world.

LEARNING WITHOUT FRONTIERS

Let’s break down the walls and open up our schools to the world around us, through authentic partnerships to collaborate on work that matters, and connect our learners with abundant inspiration and opportunities to explore and understand the richness of life.

Learning Spaces

Autens believes that learning should be joyful, meaningful, personalised and co-created. And we believe that learning spaces should mirror this and invite creativity of all kinds, embrace differences and show tolerance – and not least communicate the vision of learning.

Autens is committed to the importance of school and learning space design. Learning Spaces are strong narratives that guide students and teachers in their daily work and help make effective and joyful learning happen. Schools and learning spaces should be a clear picture of the learning vision which is at the core of any good school development project.

Over the years, Autens has developed a palet of tools that help formulate customised learning spaces. The tools are built on research in learning, psychology, neurology, organisational cultures and organisational development as well as our experience in the field from working with schools and cities.
