Education 2048: learning for future survival

In the second week of the online course, Sensing Harm by Design, the Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures Collective introduces the Education 2048 exercise. Here are snippets from the session.

Education 2048 is a thought experiment, or rather a head/heart experiment that was developed by the GTDF collective for a conference in Germany in August 2020. The topic of the conference was utopian visions of the future and they were invited to present what we imagined schools to look like in 2048. There are two parts to this head/heart experiment. In the first part, the experiment invites you to imagine a scenario, in the second part, you are invited to consider two sets of questions. This is the first part.

✴︎ ABOUT THE GTDF COLLECTIVE ✴︎

Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures (GTDF) is an arts/research collective that develops artistic, pedagogical, cartographic, and relational experiments that aim to identify and de-activate colonial habits of being, and to gesture towards the possibility of decolonial futures. GTDF is about hospicing worlds that are dying within and around us with care and integrity, as well as with attention to the lessons these deaths offer, while also assisting with the birth of new, potentially wiser possibilities, without suffocating them with projections. GTDF is about facing our complicity in violence and unsustainability and its implications with the courage of really seeking to connect with the collective pain, past, present, and future.
