Future
Schools
We co-create visions and dreams for schools, school districts, and national initiatives to pave the road forward, reimagining the Future of Learning together.
We build your capacity for project-based authentic learning, 21st-century learning design, creativity, innovation, & entrepreneurship.
We co-create & reimagine school design with all stakeholders, emphasizing a strong student voice. We advise on the future of educational facilities, user engagement and architectural briefs, cultivating ownership in the process.
We design innovative learning spaces and inspire you to create engaging, collaborative environments that nurture 21st-century learning, equity and well-being on any budget.
We collaborate with innovative schools and education change-makers globally. We deliver keynotes, run workshops, and contribute to books, podcasts and articles. We lead and contribute to global networks driving the future of education.
Re-imagining Education Together
Autens Future Schools is a dedicated, experienced bunch of consultants chasing a crazy dream of transforming education so that every person can lead a valuable happy life full of opportunities, passion and a big love of learning. We do so through re-imagining school and education, through inspiring and training leaders and teachers, through designing inspiring learning spaces and through creating a new generation of school facilities with architects. All this is done in the spirit of student voice, co-creation, fun and passionate dedication to people and learning.
We are fortunate to be part of the most exciting, brave projects that insist that learning is fun, that everyone can be a successful learner, and that the future is amazing if we make it so. We work at all levels – schools, educational institutions, local and national government, and international organizations – and we love connecting the world across the board.

CO-CREATING
SCHOOL DESIGN
Co-creation and cultivating ownership is in our DNA. We have moved our engagement processes online to secure a continuous strong teacher and student voice in the design of education facilities & learning space design.
Children across the Globe have never had this much in common. As the world shuts down around them, we link them up. We run weekly global online chats for students. Link Online Learners is set up in collaboration with other globally awarded educators from more than 10 countries.
