The Long Now of Education was hosted by Henry Ford Learning Institute in Dearborn, Michigan from July 31 to August 1, 02025. The gathering, held at the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation, had participants work through several futures activities to consider how they might move beyond outdated visions of tomorrow to approach their work with fresh perspectives. Our conversations and work together anchored us in dignity, agency, and place as focal points.
Our time together also inspired some immediate action in the form of a fall workshop series at the REDI Lab in Denver as well as the beginning of conversations about developing a fundamentally new school model for Denver and Detroit. 02025 Slide Deck
