Every generation faces challenges, but never before have young people been so aware of theirs. Whether due to school strikes for climate change, civil war, or pandemic lockdowns, almost every child in the world has experienced the interruption of their schooling by outside forces. When the world we have taken for granted proves so unstable, it gives rise to the question: what is schooling for? Thrive advocates a new purpose for education, in a rapidly changing world, and analyses the reasons why change is urgently needed in our education systems. The book identifies four levels of thriving: global – our place in the planet; societal – localities, communities, economies; interpersonal – our relationships; intrapersonal – the self. Chapters provide research-based theoretical evidence for each area, followed by practical international case studies showing how individual schools are addressing these considerable challenges. Humanity's challenges are shifting fast: schools need to be a part of the response.

Title: Strong and specific path to the future of education
Review: The authors of the book are transparent about their beliefs around education and its purpose, employ strong examples of such schools and practices while admitting places that aren’t perfect or “done,” and still push for massive shifts in our practice around education, its goals, its path, and how interconnected we all are and still need to be more than ever. It outlines a strong plan for what needs to happen and why while offering some ideas of a path without believing they are giving a full proof plan. Great read! Must read for future-looking educators and education leaders.
