This is the podcast version of my entire talk at the "Steering Education - From Imagination to Impact" Conference in Riga / Latvia, on June 3, 2022 see https://www.futures2050.lv/ You can watch the video on Youtube: https://youtu.be/-p3aM9_vwr0 Some of my key messages in this video: The future is no longer an extension of the present. The future is not something that just happens to us - it is something we create. Education has to become Future-focussed: Imagination will be more important than knowledge. Our ultimate job will be... to be HUMAN. If you work like a robot, a robot will take your job. If you LEARN like a robot, you will end up working like a robot. As you see the future, so you act, as you act so you become. This is probably my most comprehensive talk on the future of education, training and work, to-date.
