About this podcast
Learning Horizons - previously ‘The NAME it Podcast’ – started out as a ‘special series’ exploring the re-imagining of education. That series sparked a deeper interest, concern, and passion and became the impetus for making learning horizons (what the future of education and learning might become) the clear focus for this podcast.For over a decade now I have been asking questions and soaking up knowledge from teachers, educators, specialists, and countless others directly and indirectly involved in education about what is emerging, what could emerge, and what challenges are yet to be addressed.Increasingly, it appears to me that a re-imagining and eventual transformation of education (in the broadest meaning of the term) is one of the vital areas needing attention if we want to address the many interconnected global challenges. Am I saying it is THE issue everyone should be focusing on? No. It is the one that I have committed myself to because it overlaps with my personal values, experience and background in learning and development, adult learning and facilitation, psychology and human growth, and as a previous board member of an independent school.There are countless interconnected global issues, challenges and crises facing our world. How are current and future humans being raised, educated, and mentored into becoming the citizens and members of communities to meet these challenges? Are old solutions to past challenges sufficient for today and tomorrow?Rather than prescribing answers or singular solutions, in each episode of Learning Horizons, with the privilege of my guest’s experiences and perspectives, I hope to learn and explore the emerging questions, challenges, and opportunities for re-imagining education that are dawning on our horizon.Note: Episodes prior to Episode 21 are still titled 'The NAME it Podcast'.Logo Photo by Arthur Ogleznev on Pixels.comCover Photo by by Simon Matzinger on UnsplashEp 15 onwards Music: What's The Angle? by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.comPre Ep 15 Podcast Intro music: https://www.purple-planet.com
