Global Learning Communities “Current experiments with things like workforce reform, out-of-hours learning and community partnerships will change the organisational nature and the shape of schools in quite radical ways. No one quite knows what the new forms will look like but the future is, by definition created today. The seeds of tomorrow’s successes or failures are around us now. The future is not going to be the status quo. It’s going to be a mixture of different elements and if we can manage to open people’s minds about what the economy and society might be like and how they might govern day-to-day life, then we have created a basis for people to more effective at what they are doing.” From ‘Possible Futures, four scenarios for 21st century schooling’;NCSL Research Study, April, 2003 From ‘Possible Futures, four scenarios for 21st century schooling’; NCSL Research Study, April, 2003 Context for GLC work
