Education is a key component for change, but realising a sustainable and socially just world can only be achieved through envisioning an education system that affords people the capacity to access both lifelong and life-wide education – for all and not the few, and at any point in time for that matter.

Brtidge 47s recent event Imagine 4.7 raised a pertinent question that is necessary to address if we are to achieve a sustainable and just transition: are we to carry on with “the old ways of doing things” or are we to pose a challenge by attempting to release education from its narrow confines of a particular stage in ones life?

The event was an exercise in the latter –  it was a space to dream, imagine and envision a brighter future where education is understood within the context of – any time, at any age, and for all.

The fundamental message expressed was that education, if allowed reach its full potential,  holds the capacity to create a baseline for transformative learning whereby people can shape the world as active global citizens and create enabling conditions for brighter futures to emerge.
