The Global Future Education Foundation

Promoting a civilzation-level change from “learning-in-advance” to “empowerment”through  “I CAN” Beliefs, Real-World Accomplishment, Symbiosis with Technology, and Applied Uniqueness.
We support the creation of “EMPOWERMENT HUBS” as an alternative to the world’s current learning-in-advance schools. 

FROM LEARNING-IN-ADVANCE TO EMPOWERMENT

 
The GLOBAL FUTURE EDUCATION FOUNDATION is a not-for-profit 501 (c) (3) corporation dedicated to promoting and spreading a CIVILIZATION-LEVEL SHIFT from “LEARNING-IN-ADVANCE” to “EMPOWERMENT”—an alternative emerging around the globe that better fits the young people of the 21st century.  
 The world is currently burdened with an education system that worked, for many, through the 20th century but that no longer fits today’s young people and the coming world.

WE SEEK TO

EMPOWER ALL 2 BILLION YOUNG PEOPLE

TO IMPROVE THEIR WORLD,

by building “I CAN” Beliefs, Real-World Accomplishments, Symbiotic Technology, Capabilities and Applied Uniqueness.

WHAT’S NEEDED NOW

 

We need to introduce a new paradigm for bringing up our young people.

We call it “EMPOWERMENT.”
 
We need to create “Empowerment Hubs” designed to allow young people to improve their world.
Incrementally reforming academic “learning-in-advance” will NOT work.
 
 

 

 
Yet almost everyone focuses on incremental reforms (“icing”), rather than on creating something new.

 

NEW, 21st CENTURY BELIEFS

 

We see an emerging GENERATIONAL BELIEFS DIVIDE

 

 NEW BELIEFS YOUNG PEOPLE NEED

  • I am, first, a member of the human race and a citizen of the world—before my many other identities.
  • I have a unique set of dreams, passions, strengths, and capabilities that no other human has.
  • I can understand my uniqueness and apply it to bettering my world in my own way.
  • I have the power to create positive change as an individual, and even more powerfully in teams.
  • I can and will take my own dreams as seriously as I want to.
  • I live in a technology age. I will make my human and machine components work together well to solve problems.
  • My goal is to become a good, effective, world-improving person, doing the most good and the least harm I can.
  • My best self combines -What I care about most, -What I’m best at, and -What I love to do.
  • My key sources of happiness are LOVE, EMPATHY, GRATITUDE & OPTIMISM (L.E.G.O.).
  • I am entitled to TRUST, RESPECT, INDEPENDENCE, COLLABORATION & KINDNESS from others—and will give the same in return.
  • I can build my self-esteem and self-confidence by continually accomplishing positive, useful, tasks in my community, country and world…
  • …and can personally better my world by joining in world-improving projects.
  • My ideal life is a good balance of: – Socializing, eating, exercise & play; – Contributing to my world; – Renewing myself through reflection and sleep.
  • I am in charge of, and responsible for, my own life and future. I also welcome well-intentioned advice and guidance from all sources.
  • I am free to believe whatever I want to. —But I am not free to cause harm to others or the world.
  • I will not be under-respected, under-appreciated- or underestimated because of my age, gender— or anything else
  • I am nobody’s pet, property, or slave. No person has the right to control me, beyond stopping me from doing harm.
  • I know, and welcome, that my life will be one of continuous change—and this may even Include changes in my beliefs.
  • But much of my adult life will be determined by the beliefs I form growing up.
  • No matter what anyone tells me, all these things are true.

WE PROMOTE REAL, WORLD-IMPROVING PROJECTS

 
We need every young person to have their own individual curriculum of real-world projects with Measurable Positive Impact on that students’ world—and NOT one curriculum for all based on the same Math, English, Science and Social studies (The “MESS”) for everyone.
We need a growing-up process that is fully based on young people continuously doing real-world projects that improve their world—at all ages and levels.
These sorts of projects are growing exponentially around the globe—you can see over 100 examples in the EAI database.

WE SEE A COMING

SYMBIOSIS WITH TECHNOLOGY

Humans are changing as a result of technology.  We are moving  to “Symbiotic Human Hybrids” who combine our evolved brains and our constructed technologis—including AI— into a new form of human being – the form that is required to solve the problems of the 21st century and beyond.

WE BELIEVE IN

“APPLIED UNIQUENESS”

Every single one of the 2 billion YOUNG PEOPLE on the planet is UNIQUE in his or her  dreams, interests, and strengths.  Our young people kids need to APPLY their unique features in ways that improve their world.

WE SUPPORT

A DIFFERENT KIND OF CURRICULUM

Instead of giving them courses and classes, we need to help all our young people acquire, through real-world projects, the universally needed skills of effective thinking, effective action, effective relating, and, especially, effective accomplishment!

WE BELIEVE IN

“LIFETIME TRANSFERABLE SKILLS”

 Young people need a  strong start at mastering not just so-called “21st century” skills.
Young people should start acquiring as many of the lifelong transferable skills that humans need in order to thrive and improve their world as they can.
 
THE MISSION OF THE GLOBAL FUTURE EDUCATION FOUNDATION is to encourage the empowerment of all young people, by both promoting the Empowerment Vision, and by creating the necessary connections and infrastructure to help make it happen.
