Within education, passionate entrepreneurs & committed citizens are no longer waiting for these broken formal institutions to be reformed. All over the world, they're designing & building their own local responses with relationships at their core. These are the education ecosystems that our young people need and out of which new institutions will emerge. This podcast is an inquiry into these fundamental changes and an invitation to join the movement to help nurture positive change.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T22:20:50.236579+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/future-learning-design-podcast-2962232"},"episode":{"title":"How Embodiment Science Transforms Education - A Conversation with Prof. Guy Claxton and Emily Poel","slug":"how-embodiment-science-transforms-education-a-conversation-with-prof-guy-claxton-and-emily-poel","published_at":"2026-05-30T23:59:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/future-learning-design-podcast-2962232/how-embodiment-science-transforms-education-a-conversation-with-prof-guy-claxton-and-emily-poel","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/future-learning-design-podcast-2962232","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/futurelearningdesign/episodes/How-Embodiment-Science-Transforms-Education---A-Conversation-with-Prof--Guy-Claxton-and-Emily-Poel-e3k49jl","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/2b5499dc/podcast/play/120775733/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-4-30%2F78de15a9-7898-d217-ac40-e4cc1135ae81.mp3","summary":"This week is a huge privilege to have my good friends Emily Poel and Guy Claxton returning to the podcast in celebration of the release this week of their fabulous new book, Bodies of Learning: How Embodiment Science Transforms Education.
