There there listening experience
The education of the future(s) is deeply intertwined with its historical roots, drawing upon existing traditions, systems, and methodologies. However, contemporary realities offer unique opportunities for exploring fresh perspectives and approaches that can shape new pathways forward. In this podcast episode, Marea Hildebrand, founder of School of Commons, and Jessica Guy from Fab Lab Barcelona discuss the concept of commoning in education.The concept of commons, inspired by the pioneering work of economist Elinor Ostrom, has expanded beyond traditional domains to inform educational practices. Ostrom's research challenged conventional notions of resource management by highlighting the effectiveness of communal governance. Commons, at its core, involves shared resources and the collective systems that communities develop to sustainably manage them. In the educational context, commons extends beyond physical resources to encompass shared knowledge, collaborative practices, and the democratization of creative processes.
