As Donald Trump returns to the White House, many American citizens are willing to tear everything down. Where did these destructive inclinations come from? Might they partly reflect the way that voters learned history back in school? How well are we teaching history through the eyes of people living then so we can learn from their experiences? To what extent are we introducing students to their culture's proud traditions so they feel inspired to defend them rather than throw everything away?In this episode of How My View Grew, we explore these questions by hearing from someone from outside the United States. Lene Rachel Andersen is a Danish author, futurist, and economist. As a student, she knew history was important. However, when challenged by a classmate, she couldn't explain why. Lene sensed the disjointed nature of the history curriculum but couldn't pinpoint what was missing. Years later, as the result of a TV series she created that went awry, she discovered answers to both questions. Then postmodernism entered the scene, and Lene wondered: should we be teaching deconstruction to third graders—or can this wait until later?Lene's story reveals deep lessons for avoiding authoritarianism and meeting other challenges of our time.**Key takeaways**8:00 A classmate's question about history stump Lene12:00 Put yourself in the shoes of people in history14:00 To avoid authoritarianism and stupid wars, understand history and humans18:00 Pitfalls of the postmodern approach to history24:00 An exciting pilot project in a Danish public school27:00 Third grade teachers shouldn't be teaching deconstruction32:00 Amiel's reflections**Resources**Lene's web site"The Surprising Lesson of History"—from season one of this podcast**Subscribe to the podcast**To hear the origin stories of more big ideas, subscribe to How My View Grew on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.**Share the love**Leave me a rating or review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.

This week on the podcast we spoke with Drs. Rutger Engels and Ginie Servant-Miklos, who recently staged the "Bildung Climate School," a part-type summer pilot program in Rotterdam, the Netherlands that draws inspiration from the model of the Danish folk high school as described by Lene Rachel Andersen in The Nordic Secret as well as from the microcolleges in the United States. Carefully structured from a research perspective to test pedagogical strategies and program impacts for future prototypes and initiatives, the Bildung Climate School brought together students from differing tracks of the Netherlands' highly stratified post-secondary education system for 2 hours per day for 9 weeks during the summer of 2024. The program they experienced put into practice elements of what Ginie calls "the pedagogies of collapse," combining a frank examination of the sobering ecological and economic challenges facing humanity with embodied artistic and social practices and techniques for working through anxiety, building community, and even having fun.Ginie Servant-Miklos is an engaged environmental educator with fifteen years of experience in education practice, research, and advocacy. She currently holds an Assistant Professorship in behavioural sciences at the Erasmus School of Social and Behavioural Sciences in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Her research and education work focuses on developing innovative pedagogies for societal impact. She developed the Experimental Pedagogics educational design framework, co-founded the Bildung Climate School with Prof. Rutger Engels, and is the author of Pedagogies of Collapse: A Hopeful Education for the End of the World as We Know It. She is a Senior Fellow of the Comenius Network for educational innovators in the Netherlands. She is the founder and chair of the board of the FairFight Foundation, an organisation that provides girls and women from Zambia, Zimbabwe, and India with the mental and physical benefits of martial arts practice, as well as educational support. Ginie is a vocal activist for sustainability and gender equality, advocating for change through public engagements like TEDx talks, debates, podcasts, and other digital media outlets. Ginie obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from the University of Kent, an LLM in International Law from Kent Law School, an MA in International Relations from Sciences Po Lille, a PhD in Education Philosophy and Psychology from Erasmus University Rotterdam, and a post-doctoral research grant in Sustainability Education from Aalborg University. She was also a visiting professor in Experimental Pedagogics at Tyumen University.Rutger Engels, PhD, is an award-winning full professor in Developmental Psychopathology, at the Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR), and a board member of the venture philanthropy ‘De Verre Bergen'. Dr Engels received his MA in Psychology at the University of Groningen, his Ph.D. at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Maastricht, followed by a post-doc at Utrecht University. In 2001, he was appointed as a professor in Nijmegen. From 2014-2018, he was CEO of the Trimbos Institute, the National Institute for Mental Health and Addictions, and a distinguished professor in Developmental Psychopathology at Utrecht University. From 2018-2021, he was Rector Magnificus of EUR, one of the top public research universities of Europe. Currently, he is cofounding a specialized mental health clinic on psychedelic-assisted treatments. His fundamental and applied research focuses on mental health and substance use in adolescents and adults. In the last decades, he has coordinated programs aiming to design, test, and ship (technology-enabled) interventions for mental health, addictions, resiliency, and personal growth.

We need to ask ourselves some really tough questions about what our education systems are really doing to support young people to live in a climate changed world of at least 2 degrees of warming. What are the hands-on skills that they will need, but also how are we supporting them to regulate difficult emotions, and build community as we relocalise. This week, Ginie Servant-Miklos is returning to the podcast, this time with her colleague Rutger Engels, to talk about what they are learning through their work implementing critically important ideas in their Bildung Climate School pilots with young people across Rotterdam.  You can find out more about the Bildung Climate School here: https://www.erasmusmagazine.nl/en/2024/05/29/students-of-all-levels-learn-how-to-deal-with-climate-change-challenges-through-dance-and-philosophy/ https://www.instagram.com/bildung_climate_school/ You can also see an overview of the programme here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vS97am09X7bwtKLZfXZrfq-6LuS59W5E/view?usp=sharing For further details on Bildung, go to Lene Rachel Andersen's Nordic Bildung: https://www.nordicbildung.org/ And check out previous episodes with Ginie and Lene on the podcast channel.

For the 50th Episode of the Microcollege Podcast, we checked back in with one of our favorite guests from the first few months of the show. Lene Rachel Andersen is one of the stimulating and ambitious thinkers we have met during this remarkable journey. A native of Denmark, Lene is an economist, futurist, Bildung activist, and author of many books in Danish and English. The occasion for this conversation is the upcoming release of a significantly revised new edition of Lene's landmark book The Nordic Secret: A European Story of Beauty and Freedom. Originally published in 2017 with the collaboration of Swedish author Tomas Björkman, the new edition of The Nordic Secret will be available in late January 2024. Lene will be traveling to the West and East Coasts of the US in January and February as well, with plans for a visit to the Midwest (including Thoreau College) in late summer or early fall in the works as well.The Nordic Secret is an important text for anyone seeking hopeful inspiration and practical advice about what could be done with regards to the collapse of civic engagement, social cohesion, and personal sense of meaning in our time in the United States and elsewhere. The book tells the remarkable story of how Denmark and the other Nordic countries made the transition from being among the poorest, most socially stratified, and authoritarian countries in Europe in the early 19th century to being the most wealthy, egalitarian, and democratic counties in the early 20th century. The "secret" in Lene's title turns out to be a revolutionary new model of education for young adults - the Danish folk high schools - grounded in a deeply humanistic conception of the human being and of human development. Lene labels this conception "Bildung," a term with deep roots in the thought and practice of key early modern German thinkers including Herder, Goethe, and Schiller, who in turn inspired the creators of the folk high school movement in Denmark (and also the Transcendentalists in America, including Emerson and Thoreau).Testing the hypothesis that what worked in Scandinavia may work elsewhere, Lene has spent the last several years working to instigate and support a global Bildung movement. In addition to her writing and speaking, Lene is the co-founder of the Global Bildung Network, a worldwide network of educators, thinkers, and activists collaborating online and in person to share ideas and promote the idea of Bildung in ways appropriate to diverse cultures and contexts. The Global Bildung Network organizes twice-yearly virtual "Global Bildung Days" on the March and September equinoxes, as well as regional gatherings in Europe and now in North America.

Dit keer bespreken we het boek The Nordic Secret van Lene Rachel Andersen en Tomas Björkman. Met de subtitel: 'A European story of beauty and freedom.' We kregen het boek toegestuurd door de auteurs. Lene is Deens, vooral auteur, futuroloog, en filosoof. Ze is mede-oprichter van de think-tank Nordic Bildung en de folk-Bildung association Fremvirke.Thomas is Zweeds, ondernemer, vooral in de financiële dienstverlening, en starte een bank in Zwitserland. Nu werkt hij als sociale ondernemer met zijn Ekskaret Foundation en meer. Hij is ook mede-initiatiefnemer van de Inner Development Goals en lid van de club van Rome. Het is een indrukwekkend boek met 464 pagina's. Voor mijn gevoel hebben ze het boek te ingewikkeld gemaakt, te intellectueel, te veel op het cognitieve gericht. Dit in tegenstelling tot de Inner Development Goals (IDGs) die Thomas gestart is. De IDGs zijn een initiatief dat marketing technisch goed in elkaar zit en eenvoudig door te vertellen is. Het boek is interessant om te lezen als je meer wilt begrijpen over waarom de IDGs als Folk Bildung zo belangrijk zijn naar de toekomst. Waarbij de auteurs laten zien dat folk bildung ervoor gezorgd heeft dat de Scandinavische landen uit de armoede zijn gekomen en gelukkige mensen heeft opgeleverd. Met de waarschuwing, dat wanneer we niet oppassen dit dreigt verloren te gaan met de neoliberale keuzes die de afgelopen decennia zijn gemaakt. Het boek is opgedeeld in vijf delen: I - Setting the scene II Personal freedom and responsibility - bildung philosophy III The Scandinavian Spring - implementing Bildung IV Exploring what we have found V Looking forward I Setting the scene In het eerste hoofdstuk zien we, op basis van verschillende langlopende onderzoeken, hoe goed de scandinavische landen het doen op economisch en sociaal gebied. In hoofdstuk 2 leggen ze uit waarom er 10 cirkels van belonging zijn, waarbij de 10e cikel interessant is, die gaat verder dan je eigen leven en de mensheid, deze gaat ove de planeet en toekomstige generaties. Dit past goed wanneer we op zoek gaan naar een betere toekomst. Deze cirkel is meer lange termijn gericht, denken in generaties. II Personal freedom and responsibility - bildung philosophy Hoofdstuk 3 t/m5 is een geschiedenisles over het ontstaan van scholing en ontwikkeling van de mens van de afgelopen 350 jaar in Europa. Het ging met name over de ontwikkeling van de vierde en vijfde laag - self-authoring en self-transforming. Hoofdstuk 6 is kort en gaat over bildung en de ontwikkeling van de ego. III The Scandinavian Spring - implementing Bildung Dit deel is nog steeds een uitgebreide geschiedenisles. Hier gaat het over hoe bildung zich ontwikkelde van Duitsland naar de scandinavische landen, met Denemarken voorop. Hier zie je ook de overgang van bildung, die in Duitsland meer voor de elite was, naar folk bildung waarin juist het gewone volk werd meegenomen in de ontwikkeling. IV Exploring what we have found In hoofdstuk zoeken ze naar de verschillen met andere regios en landen. Waar ontstaan de verschillen, waarin Finland en Zwitserland opvallen. Zeker omdat Finland zich extreem snel heeft ontwikkeld. Interessant is ook het verschil met Duitsland, het land waar de bildung is ontstaan. Waarom is het daar zo anders gelopen? Verder onderzoeken ze hier ook de connectie van de ontwikkeling met cooperaties. In hoofdstuk 13 bekijken ze de hypotheses die ze aan het begin van het boek hebben gesteld en vergelijken ze dat met alle inzichten uit de hoofdstukken tot nu toe. Onder andere dat folk bildung een belangrijke rol speekt in cirkel 5 t/m 7 - Community, Nation en culture. Op pag 343 een interessante afbeelding over de transities van de verschillende lagen in de ontwikkeling van de mens. Hoofdstuk 14 is een onderzoek wat er op dit moment dreigt mis te gaan in Scandinavië. In de statistieken komt het nog niet naar voren, maar is een verandering merkbaar volgens Thomas en Le...

Pete Cohen introduces FORWARD Senior Industry Fellow Lene Rachel Andersen, author of several books on the topic of bildung and co-founder and president of the future lab Nordic Bildung. In this conversation Lene introduces the concept of bildung, which we are waving into several of our workstreams at FORWARD, and gives a rich overview of its history and applications in a skills context. “Bildung is moral and emotional maturity. Bildung is also to have the education and knowledge necessary to thrive in your society; bildung is to be deeply embedded in culture and community while having the autonomy to carve your own path in life. Bildung is always personal and unique. Bildung is a German word that has no word in English. Beginning in the 1770s, German philosophers explored bildung as a secular form of inner development and it became popular among the bourgeoisie.” -from 'Bildung: Keep Growing'. https://www.linkedin.com/in/lenerachelandersen/ https://www.globalbildung.net Transcript of this conversation https://otter.ai/u/iB3gGxS7FE-rtIfZ-n0mpcDGFb8 Production by Michael Donaldson https://8sided.blog/8sided-about/

So what is metamodernity you may ask, and what does it have to do with systems thinking and cybernetics? Well, I recently had a chance to find out for myself during my conversation with Lene Rachel Andersen about her book Metamodernity: Meaning and Hope in a Complex World (Nordic Bildung, 2019). The short answer is metamodernity is a systems perspective; "it is about seeing the world as a process and not as fixed circumstances, a world in which there are not isolated phenomena but where everything is interconnected and interdependent..." (p. 94). The book's premise is that as our old understandings and the answers we get from them are insufficient, the ways we are used to reacting and behaving do not work well anymore either. Our cultural compass cannot contain and judge the world properly because the challenges we are facing were not a part of our world when we came of age and learned what the world was like. More than a cultural trend (or 'ism'), metamodernity is a meaning-making code—one that encompasses cultural codes from every epoch of the human experience. Andersen argues that "we need metamodern minds that can relate to the intimate indigenous, the existential premodern, the democratic & scientific modern, and the deconstructing postmodern simultaneously" (p. 128). It is only through this synthesis and adoption of the metamodern code, she stresses, that we'll have the capacity to make good decisions to guide the necessary changes to our current systems and institutions. The 'hyper-modern' alternative is not a good one; think: much an exaggerated version of what will turn out to be mere glimpses of what we're seeing right now—such as rise in authoritarianism, surveillance society, extreme inequality, and of course, climate change. Metamodernity provides us with a framework for understanding ourselves and our societies in a more complex way. Metamodernity is a way of strengthening local, national, continental, and global cultural heritage among all. It thus has the potential to dismantle the fear of losing one's culture as the global economy as well as the internet and exponential technologies are disrupting our current modes of societal organization and governance. Metamodernity: Meaning and Hope in a Complex World is thought-provoking and a wonderful complement to many of the books I've covered in previous episodes.

Our cultural compass cannot contain and judge the world properly because the challenges we are facing were not a part of our world when we came of age and learned what the world was like. More than a cultural trend (or 'ism'), metamodernity is a meaning-making code—one that encompasses cultural codes from every epoch of the human experience. Andersen argues that "we need metamodern minds that can relate to the intimate indigenous, the existential premodern, the democratic & scientific modern, and the deconstructing postmodern simultaneously" (p. 128). It is only through this synthesis and adoption of the metamodern code, she stresses, that we'll have the capacity to make good decisions to guide the necessary changes to our current systems and institutions. The 'hyper-modern' alternative is not a good one; think: much an exaggerated version of what will turn out to be mere glimpses of what we're seeing right now—such as rise in authoritarianism, surveillance society, extreme inequality, and of course, climate change. Metamodernity provides us with a framework for understanding ourselves and our societies in a more complex way. Metamodernity is a way of strengthening local, national, continental, and global cultural heritage among all. It thus has the potential to dismantle the fear of losing one's culture as the global economy as well as the internet and exponential technologies are disrupting our current modes of societal organization and governance. Metamodernity: Meaning and Hope in a Complex World is thought-provoking and a wonderful complement to many of the books I've covered in previous episodes.

So what is metamodernity you may ask, and what does it have to do with systems thinking and cybernetics? Well, I recently had a chance to find out for myself during my conversation with Lene Rachel Andersen about her book Metamodernity: Meaning and Hope in a Complex World (Nordic Bildung, 2019). The short answer is metamodernity is a systems perspective; "it is about seeing the world as a process and not as fixed circumstances, a world in which there are not isolated phenomena but where everything is interconnected and interdependent..." (p. 94). The book's premise is that as our old understandings and the answers we get from them are insufficient, the ways we are used to reacting and behaving do not work well anymore either.

Timotheus Vermeulen talks with Brendan Graham Dempsey about the development of "metamodernism," a paradigm for understanding art and culture after postmodernism. After discussing the original impetus for and formation of the idea, he reflects on the continued relevance of the paradigm today, more than a decade after he and colleague Robin van den Akker first proposed it in their seminal 2010 article, "Notes on Metamodernism." More recent applications and deployments of the term "metamodernism" outside cultural studies proper (e.g., by Hanzi Freinacht, Lene Rachel Andersen, Tomas Björkman, Jonathan Rowson and Layman Pascal) are also considered. The conversation concludes with a look to the future of metamodernism, and a consideration of how it is playing out in the realm of contemporary spirituality. 00:00 Introduction 01:56 Beginnings: Coining "Metamodernism" for a New Cultural Sensibility 09:25 Is Metamodernism the "Dominant Structure of Feeling"?

Fagbidder er en podcast produceret af Biblioteket Frederiksberg, der giver dig et hurtigt indblik i en ny og aktuel fagbog.   I denne episode er det forfatter, forlægger og civiløkonom Lene Rachel Andersen, der fortæller om sin seneste bog, Dannelse: At blive et større menneske. I bogen argumenterer Andersen for, at den folkeoplysnings og folkedannelsestradition, som blev startet af Grundtvig med den danske folkehøjskole, har været uvurderlig i forhold til at skabe det velstående videnssamfund vi lever i i dag.   Dannelse er dog, ifølge Andersen, lige så relevant i dag, som det var dengang, og der er ifølge hende behov for, at vi får opdateret vores dannelsesbegreb til den komplekse samtid vi lever i nu.
