About

Vision Mapper, part of the Beyond Current Horizons programme, is designed to help examine the future of education beyond 2025. It supports the UK education system in preparing for and responding to the challenges it faces as society and technology rapidly evolve.

What skills will children need for work? How might parenting and family change? What impact will new technologies have on learning? Vision Mapper provides a wide range of activities and resources to explore these issues, centred around 6 expert future scenarios. These scenarios are based on 18 month's work in 2008-9 by a team of 98 experts and are backed by a wealth of background research, providing a powerful planning resource for educators.

The resources provided are designed to support education leadership, including head teachers, department heads, local authorities and school redesign consortia to approach long-term planning and decision making with an informed view of the future.

We designed the resources based on extensive consultation with representative users during the early design stages, and also based on Futurelab's experience running workshops and activities with these audiences. We always welcome further input and feedback on them.

Futurelab are experienced at designing, organising and facilitating a wide-range of workshops and activities and bringing diverse stakeholders together from their broad networks. Please get in touch for further information about this consultancy service: info@visionmapper.org.uk.
