ABSTRACT

This chapter explores another not-at-all surprising expertise newly identified in the latest Future of Jobs Report that outlines the top skills projected for 2025. It entwines these skills by considering the experiential ways the creative act of generating novel ideas and prototyping for feedback sits alongside embodied strategies for troubling, unsettling, forgetting and learning. The chapter explores how to design experiences that allow long-held, obsolete internal scripts to evolve into something altogether new. It uses the term ‘internal scripts’ to reference a diverse range of inner narratives that shape how we act, engage, show up, regulate, make, intellectualise, hope, resist, discern and empathise. The call to unsettle dominant socio-cultural scripts is grounded in the moral imperative to create encounters that reduce barriers to engaging, understanding and expressing so all learners might flourish.
