“Museum as Classroom of the Future”
Written by Alyxandra Westwood and Yophi Ignacia.
How can museums offer space to reflect critically on problems stemming from our current education system in a democratic and collective way?
Over the past two years, this question has stayed with us at the Fashion for Good Museum, especially when it comes to themes such as sustainability being implemented in mainstream education systems. Often these systems evolve slowly, shaped by policy and political ideologies. Due to a lack of time and resources for experimentation, curricula also tend to exclude important perspectives, which are necessary in shaping the future. This leads to minimal space being given to different learning styles, appropriate to themes such as sustainability and historical contexts. Museums can counterbalance this, as they can foster experimentation when it comes to education, acting as an extension of the classroom or a laboratory for the exploration of radical teaching methods.
