Education
A NEW SOCIAL CONTRACT
A global initiative to reimagine how knowledge and learning can shape the future of humanity and the planet.
About the initiative
UNESCO’s Futures of Education initiative aims to rethink education and shape the future. The initiative is catalyzing a global debate on how knowledge, education and learning need to be reimagined in a world of increasing complexity, uncertainty, and precarity.

Organize events, and tell the world what you think! Publish your ideas on a blog, put them in an op-ed. Please also send them to UNESCO so we can link to your work – but it's important to also think about who else in you should engage with. Get organized and get others organized so that education in 2050 helps us shape peaceful, just and sustainable futures for humanity and the planet.
We need to think together in order to act together and shape the futures we want!
