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":"Strange Times for Educational Futures - A Conversation with Prof. Keri Facer","slug":"strange-times-for-educational-futures-a-conversation-with-prof-keri-facer","published_at":"2026-03-07T23:01:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/future-learning-design-podcast-2962232/strange-times-for-educational-futures-a-conversation-with-prof-keri-facer","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/future-learning-design-podcast-2962232","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/futurelearningdesign/episodes/Strange-Times-for-Educational-Futures---A-Conversation-with-Prof--Keri-Facer-e3g34hi","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/2b5499dc/podcast/play/116543474/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-2-7%2F7b3ce7d3-865b-e872-f95c-777f25c59db9.mp3","summary":"This week on the podcast we’re time travelling with the fabulous Professor Keri Facer. How we think about the future or futures makes a difference to the decisions we make in schools today, and Keri has been asking critically important questions about educational futures, pasts and presents for the last 20 years, that are still as important today as they were when she published her brilliant 2011 book ‘Learning Futures: Education, Technology and Social Change’.
