ChangeEd | From Conversation to Open Global Collaboration
24h for Change in Education · ChangeEd · Collaboration for Educational Change
An open global pathway for educational change

Ideas become projects. Projects become shared action.

ChangeEd begins with focused international conversations and turns them into emerging initiatives that can later be strengthened, adapted, piloted and brought to life by a worldwide community.

Focused first. Open at the right moment. Small groups create a coherent first draft. The wider world then joins with ideas, evidence, translations, partnerships, pilots and practical support.
Global conversations Educators and changemakers connect across regions and perspectives.
AI-supported synthesis Dialogue is transformed into themes, choices, research and project pathways.
Two emerging projects Student agency and human-centred AI learning become actionable global concepts.
Open collaboration next The public will be invited to help test, enrich and implement the work.
What ChangeEd is

A different way to turn educational dialogue into action

ChangeEd combines the depth of a committed core group with the reach of an international community. It avoids opening a project before it has enough clarity to attract meaningful collaboration—but it also avoids keeping promising ideas inside a closed circle.

Start with purposeful dialogue

Affinity groups explore shared concerns, tensions, experiences and possibilities. Meetings are designed for conversation and sense-making rather than hurried project drafting.

Give the idea real form

Insights, preferences, contextual research and international precedents are brought together into a coherent and practical first project model.

Open the work to the world

Once a strong draft exists, educators, students, experts, schools and organizations can help improve it and move it toward pilots and implementation.

Explore the full process

Six stages—from initiative to open collaboration

Every stage remains public so that people can understand not only the final project, but also the conversations, choices and research that shaped it.

Current moment

The project drafts now have enough form to invite purposeful collaboration.

The goal is not to treat the current pages as final products. They are public working foundations that can be strengthened by people with different experiences, disciplines, languages, communities and resources.

Already completed: group formation and first conversations
Already completed: synthesis, preferences and contextual research
Now visible: two detailed emerging project models
Next: contribution pathways, partnerships and pilots
Two connected project pathways

Different starting points. One human-centred direction.

Both projects connect students and educators internationally, value authentic action and evidence, and place human judgement at the centre of educational change.

Group 1 project

Thriving Together

The Global Learner Agency Lab

Students around the world use their agency to design and test one meaningful action that helps a group of people thrive in its particular context.

Central proposition: students do not merely discuss agency. They exercise it through real choices, action, adaptation and responsibility.
Positive focus on thriving, belonging, connection, purpose and contribution
Global Agency Circles that influence local decisions
Student-led action and authentic evidence of agency
A Global Atlas of Student Agency and multimedia Agency Stories
Group 2 project

Human Futures Lab

One Planet, Many Contexts

Students and educators investigate a real sustainability challenge, use AI critically and responsibly, take local action and learn across communities.

Central question: how can we use AI—without surrendering human judgement—to understand and improve a sustainability challenge in our community?
Human capacities as the purpose of future-focused education
Educators as designers, experimenters and contributors to knowledge
AI as one source among community knowledge, evidence and experience

How the public can participate

Open-source collaboration means more than sharing documents

It means making the work visible enough for others to question it, adapt it, test it and improve it—while preserving a common purpose and openly sharing what is learned.

Contribute a local perspective Help the projects reflect contexts, cultures and communities that are not yet represented.
Share evidence and resources Recommend research, datasets, protocols, tools, frameworks or learning materials.
Offer a real-world case Document a relevant practice, challenge, success, limitation or failed experiment.
Translate and localize Help adapt language, examples and participation pathways for different communities.
Host or support a pilot Bring a school, class, youth group or educator network into an early implementation cycle.
Become a knowledge partner Contribute specialist, community, academic, technological or implementation expertise.
