ABOUT
Global Futures Education was founded by Professor Jennifer Gidley, PhD as an extension of her international futures consultancy and almost decade-long leadership of the world’s foremost futures organisation, a UNESCO partner. The insights that inform and enrich the programs were developed over decades of research and are introduced in Jennifer’s highly successful Oxford University Press book The Future: A Very Short Introduction.
Each online course draws together over 100 learning resources including videos, articles, reports and other digital assets from a vast trove of authoritative sources. The courses are curated into a coherent, accessible matrix within a highly professional, and easy-to-use LMS Learning Platform, which can be white-labelled for organisations wanting to use their own branding. Courses are regularly updated so you can gain key knowledge and understanding to fast-track your career opportunities in a rapidly changing and risky world.
The Global Futures Education program comprises three comprehensive online courses:
1. Global Futures of Climate. LAUNCHED July 2023.
2. Global Socio-Cultural Futures. LAUNCHED February 2024.
3. Global Geo-Political Futures. COMING SOON.
Each course includes 12 lessons. To develop critical and integrated thinking, the paradox modality is used with 50% of the lessons demonstrating the challenges and 50% introducing the counter-trends and emerging innovative solutions. The solutions offered align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
