Research project (Active)
"Education for a World Worth Living In" is a five-year international project to explore the purpose of education.
Our central question is:
How could education help us live well in a world worth living in for all?
Seven people, across ages and backgrounds, consider this critical question for our time: What does it mean to live well in a world worth living in for all?
Their answers – from the importance of relationships to creating social justice – help us kick off a global conversation about what really matters.
We are exploring how education can help diverse groups of people live fulfilling lives and make the world a better place.
We are a group of international researchers working together to explore the fundamental purpose of education.
We have set out to conduct 30 projects in order to discover what makes life worth living for different people.
