The article on futures literacy in the latest issue of ‘weiter bilden’ explains why our ideas about the future are crucial and how we can consciously reflect on and develop them. Helen Buchs, head of the TRANSIT think tank, has taken a close look at it.
TRANSIT deals with questions about the future – and so does the latest issue of the journal ‘weiter bilden’ (4/2025). It explores the role of adult education in shaping possible future scenarios.
The topics covered include:
- Futures of the past: What adult education can learn from its history.
- Adult education centres 2026 onwards: How continuing education institutions can meet future challenges whilst making the most of their strengths.
- Futures literacy: How can the uncertainty of the future and how to deal with it be made tangible and communicated in adult education?
Helen Buchs, head of the TRANSIT think tank, has taken a closer look at the article on futures literacy in particular.
