We are delighted to invite you to the online launch of the FAST45 project and website. FAST45 is a pan-European research project which aims to create and test new methodologies, envisage future scenarios, establish long-term international
collaboration and develop tools and initiatives which will empower arts institutions not only to anticipate an unknown future but to actively shape it.
Involving arts educators, researchers, students, and business professionals working across artistic disciplines and leaping sectoral boundaries, FAST45 seeks to analyse, map, and predict the arts education landscape for 2045.
Meet the FAST45 partners and hear what the future could hold.
Join Prof. Daniel Weinbren, an Open University Fellow and writer of the history of OU, to hear how the UK-based Open University, with its objective to ‘promote the educational well-being of the community generally’ challenged the pre-Second
World War status quo by providing open-access education to part-time adult learners. Discover how the OU modelled how a central state could seek to direct technological, educational, cultural and economic developments and normalise a quasi-market
within the university sector.
This online lecture (followed by a Q&A) will be hosted on the FAST45 Learning Platform. READ MORE>
