NEWS  TEXT TEAM DAREThis year we want to involve our community even more in building Dare to Learn. Dare to Learn 2018 program will be cocreated with the learning community. First, we asked the community for themes and now we open the call for actual sessions - for everyone!Why are we opening the call for proposals for everyone? Simply because we believe the best ideas are in the community, not necessarily within our own team. Through an open call, we aim to ensure the variety, quality and freshness of the program. The best practices, newest ideas and proven solutions can be possessed by anyone, from a corporation to a public organization or an individual teacher or professional. The open call for ideas ensures quality, but we also do it because we believe world is only changed through collaboration. This is an invitation to collaborate on making learning available everywhere and for everyone. Join us changing the world through sharing the best ideas! We dare you to propose your own ideas! We want to remind you that Dare to Learn is a highly interactive event: we are biased towards bold, participative and creative proposals rather than top-down talks. Dare to propose your wildest and the most creative ideas! Remember to accurately highlight the main focus of your proposal: depth is more important than breath. ThemesThis year Dare to Learn is divided in five different themes to help illuminate different focus areas and enable Learners to easily find different types of program at the event. As you think about your proposal, you’ll want to select the theme that best aligns with your session. However, it’s okay if the proposal doesn’t fit directly under any of the themes mentioned below. Emotions and Learning They drive learning, motivation, decision-making and wellbeing. Be it in schools or at the workplace, the key is to understand the potential of emotions and how to put them into use. Curriculum 2026 What Should We Learn Next? In 2016, a new Finnish national curriculum was implemented in schools. But what comes after multidisciplinary modules and learning with ICT? What are the core skills to be emphasized in the next curriculum reform? Developmental Organizational Culture The modern world is always in flux. Organizations must build development in to their core, or risk falling behind. Learning cannot be a mere afterthought, but part of everyday work life. Self-directed Learning What’s in common with Thomas Alva Edison and David Bowie? They were both self-taught. Learning doesn’t always need to be formal. The question is, how to learn to learn? Learning for Sustainability The world changes, so must we. How to acknowledge and tackle challenges on the journey towards an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable future?
