Re-imagining the curriculum for resilience and justice, with Dominic REGESTER, Michael BACKLUND & Nazia HABIB

In this fourth episode we explore how education can move beyond 19th-century models to foster resilience, justice, and authentic learner agency in a complex world. In this episode of RE-ACT, Raphael Costambeys-Kempczynski explores how education can move beyond outdated 19th-century models to meet the challenges of our complex, interconnected world. Joined by Nazia Habib, Michael Bäcklund, and Dominic Regester, the conversation examines the role of social and emotional learning, project-based experiences, and transdisciplinary knowledge in shaping resilient, socially conscious learners. From engaging youth in real-world decision-making to reimagining the purpose and authenticity of curricula, the episode shows how education can become a living ecosystem—equipping students not just with knowledge, but with the capacity to act, collaborate, and thrive in a rapidly changing world.
