Listen "Lene Rachel Andersen"
Episode Synopsis
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'.
