Development of social and other skills
Social and cultural awareness
Swedish society is increasingly characterized by social and cultural diversity. People move more frequently across continents, encountering different cultures and religions. Children and students need to be trained to understand how people in other cultures think and act.
We want our children and students to demonstrate understanding and interest in other people and in various cultural and religious contexts. By understanding others, one gains a deeper understanding of oneself.
Critical thinking
Critical thinking is a fundamental skill for navigating the society of the future. It is not only about analyzing information but also about making wise decisions, contributing to solutions for major challenges, and fostering a more informed, responsible, and fair world.
To help children and students navigate a rapidly changing world, we aim to equip them with the tools to analyze, evaluate, and solve problems with courage and honesty.
Collaboration
Many of the world’s greatest challenges, such as climate change, pandemics, and resource distribution, require collaboration across national, cultural, and disciplinary boundaries. The job market is evolving rapidly, and modern organizations are increasingly dependent on teamwork to manage complex projects.
As a result, the ability to work effectively with others is critical to both individual and societal success. We aim to provide inspiring and challenging learning environments, emphasizing safety and community, where our children and students learn to collaborate efficiently and with respect for one another’s differences.
Communication
Greater communication skills will be essential in the future to navigate an increasingly interconnected and complex world. It is not only about expressing oneself clearly but also about listening, understanding, and adapting to different people and situations.
Effective communication will be a key skill for success, whether it involves personal development or addressing society’s future challenges. We want our children and students to develop strong abilities to express themselves. With respect and compassion for others’ perspectives, we aim to help them cultivate clear yet empathetic communication patterns.
Creativity
The future society will likely place greater demands on creativity, driven by rapid technological advancements, globalization, and changes in the dynamics of the job market. Technological progress, particularly in AI and automation, is replacing many repetitive and routine tasks.
This shift means that human labor will be increasingly needed for tasks requiring creative thinking, problem-solving, and innovation. We want our children and students to be trained as creative problem-solvers throughout their education.
By fostering inspiring and challenging learning environments where aesthetic learning processes contribute to lifelong learning, we stimulate our children’s and students’ ability to think freely and outside the box.
