Futurelab has just launched Vision Mapper, a free online resource that is intended to support education leaders embarking on school redesign, planning a curriculum change or just needing support for long-term decision making or strategy setting.

Vision Mapper provides inspirational and practical materials to challenge and support futures thinking, including six possible future scenarios, current trends that should be considered when planning for the future and case-studies of successful long-term planning initiatives.  There is also a wide range of group activities and resource packs to help education leaders prepare for the future.

Vision Mapper is part of Beyond Current Horizons, a research programme conducted by education innovator Futurelab and the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF).  The programme aims to help our education system prepare for and respond to the challenges it faces in the context of social and technological change beyond 2025.
