As education systems face unprecedented disruption, from climate challenges, AI developments and social fragmentation, museums stand at a critical intersection of learning, community, and cultural stewardship. This panel will explore how museums could navigate and shape the futures of education outlined in Charting a New Course for Education, KnowledgeWorks’ most recent forecast. Drawing from KnowledgeWorks 20 years of strategic foresight research and their latest forecast, panelists from across the museum field will reflect on how their institutions are grappling with the drivers of change impacting education over the next decade: Integrating with AI, Everyday Disruptions, Eroding Public Institutions and The Relevance Gap, and what they might mean for the context of museums today.

Speakers

Maria Crabtree, Director of Strategic Foresight Projects at KnowledgeWorks
John H. Falk, Principal at JohnHFalk, LLC
Cindy Meyers Foley, Director & CEO at Grand Rapids Art Museum
Andrea Stromeyer, Education Programs Coordinator at Door County Maritime Museum
