A collective of educators and students engages in immersive art- and design-driven practice to reimagine higher-education and primary-school teaching and learning at, and beyond, the University of Teacher Education. 

Rooted in curiosity, care and attentiveness to diverse histories and voices, the collective offers open-ended impulses that anyone can adapt, question or extend across a growing constellation of educational hubs.

Assignment: Future Self Dispatch

Overview:

Envision a message from 2035 to your present self—selecting strengths and competencies as gifts for your journey ahead.

  1. Card Selection (3 min):
    Browse the deck on the table and choose two cards. Imagine it’s the year 2035, and these cards represent the skills or qualities you’d send back as resources to your current self.

  2. First Exchange (5 min):
    Pair up. Share which cards you picked and why. Discuss: “Which competencies would best equip me for upcoming challenges?”

  3. Second Exchange (if time, 5 min):
    Find a new partner and repeat the exchange—encouraging fresh perspectives and deeper reflection.

Cultural, Intersectional & Polyvagal Sensitivity:
Competencies are shaped by cultural values and lived experiences. Honour diverse strengths by inviting multiple interpretations of each card. Recognise that nervous-system states influence readiness to imagine the future—offer quiet pauses, grounding gestures, or soft-focus options for those needing extra regulation. Prioritise voluntary sharing, respect personal comfort with vulnerability, and centre mutual support over comparison.
