Michael Stevenson

Michael Stevenson, an education leader behind the OECD's Education for Human Flourishing initiative, dives deep into transforming education. He discusses how high-performing countries shaped this framework since 2018 and highlights a growing concern for graduates lacking resilience and purpose. Grounding the initiative in ancient philosophies, Stevenson redefines flourishing as more than just academics. He also addresses criticism of the term 'flourishing' and emphasizes a universal approach adaptable across cultures while promoting community learning and the need for innovative assessment methods.
