An Instrument of Transformation - Introducing a Creative Futures Pedagogical Framework.

As a draft plotline for the transformation of design learning, the paper introduces a new Creative Futures Pedagogical Framework for creative Higher Education as a mechanism for addressing the need for the sustainable transformation of creative teaching and learning. The Design, being piloted within a government funded, transdisciplinary, distributed, national Creative Futures Academy (CFA) project, shapes an exploratory intervention in the education system that begins to tell a different future story. The paper seeks to evidence the application of Futures thinking beyond the content and communication of design learning, and instead, utilises it to radically re-imagine a curriculum capable of framing a future for design knowledge creation.
