The Future of Education Challenge Survey

Do you believe education needs to adapt to a world on the move, considering changes such as AI, climate change and growing inequity?

This September, EduSpots are launching a new ‘Future of Education’ Challenge! We are inviting youth to both to add their voice to EduSpots' emerging strategy and drive real impact while sharpening their skills in research, creative design and teamwork.

The challenge involves:
1. Building a team
2. Researching how education needs to adapt in a changing world
3. Designing your vision of the future of education (different age categories)
4. Fundraising (minimum of £50/entry) to fuel EduSpots' model of future-ready education
5. Celebrating - all participants will receive certificates, join an online celebration event with awards and prizes!

All teams joining this challenge, will be asked to fundraise a minimum of £50/team, which will be transformed into £100 through the Big Give match funding campaign from 2-9th December! See www.eduspots.org to get a sense of the transformative work in Ghana and Kenya that your fundraising will support!

Complete this short survey by 26th September, and our Challenge Coordinator will be in touch soon with further information and a handbook appropriate to your age category! Any questionsions? Email futureofeducation@eduspots.org.
