Desirable Future 2121

Life is like the universe - everything connects. Guiding values and vision through the life cycle:

• Individuals
• Network
• Connection
• Co-operation
• Self-directed responsibility
• Thinks
• Encouraging

Key question - how can we learn from our experiences, mistakes and successes

What is the process?

• You keep going around, until you learn to learn
• You must change
• In order to change you must accept your limitations
• Strive to improve with time
• What is learning - growing in wisdom?
• Reflecting on action
• Important role of education - the learning process

Pathways

• A just, ecologically responsible and socially sustainable society giving each individual the opportunity to participate fully in all opportunities society offers
• The individual is the focus (for development, change etc)
• Hierarchy of information is data -> information -> knowledge -> perception -> insight -> wisdom
• The journey of all individuals is to migrate up this hierarchy, in the process affecting government, industry, educational institutions, health, family, justice system, environment, media
• The above should address learning about mankind's past, collectively
• We must harness the power of the individual to enable him/her to achieve her/his full potential through individual and collective learning. Giving the individual greater power to make decisions through these processes will maintain progress through the hierarchy
