Futures Learning Strategies for Social Transformation and Lifelong Learning
Fleener, M. Jayne; Barcinas, Susan J.
American Association for Adult and Continuing Education, Paper presented at the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education 2020 Conference (Online, Oct 27-30, 2020)
This paper explores futures learning strategies enacted by ecosystem building futurists working with organizations and communities for social transformation and adaptation to uncertain futures. The research is based on interviews with futurists who work as ecosystem builders to understand the "what," "how," and "why" of their work. In so doing, the "where" of their passions is unveiled, especially as it relates to personal transformation and lifelong learning that includes openness to new and diverse ideas, interdisciplinary learning, and active exploration of and connections with systems relationships, chaos and complexity. Results of this research point to the importance of and need for futures learning strategies for all as we shift individualized goals to socially significant, ecosystem building visions to thrive in post-normal, post-pandemic times.
