Building sustainable futures
through lifelong learning
Gisborne | Dunedin 15-17 August 2018
Created and facilitated byProgramme Outline
Citizens who acquire new knowledge, skills and attitudes in a wide range of contexts are better
equipped to adapt to changes in their environments. If we want to achieve these sustainable
societies with empowered citizens we need to do more than simply exist – we need to thrive!
Thrive 2018 will explore the emerging and future competencies required of all citizens to thrive
in a complex and constantly changing global society. It will focus on the emergence of learning
ecologies, placing learning at the centre of educational and social transformation.
The programme overview below provides an insight into how we will use our time over the two
days. It includes Keynotes to lift horizons and create a future-focused trajectory for our thinking,
Catalyst sessions to inspire and ignite a call to action, and workshop sessions in which we can
collectively imagine and design learning-inspired approaches for our own communities and
contexts.
The event is being held simultaneously in two locations, Gisborne and Dunedin. This provides an
opportunity to demonstrate new ways of connecting and building knowledge around how we can
create new learning ecologies – locally, nationally and globally.
Throughout our two days together we aim to provide a learning experience that will focus on
analysis and synthesis, identifying areas of convergence and divergence, surfacing insights,
drawing out reflections, making connections and, where possible and desirable, building
consensus.
