Since 2004, the Alberta Teachers' Association has made a long-term commitment to collaborate and partner with other forward-thinking organizations to effectively engage Albertans in thought-provoking and public conversations about getting on with co-creating our shared future. The topics and conversations have varied over the years but three questions have come to dominate the challenge around ‘Learning Our Way’ to co-creating the next Alberta.

The future is bound to be volatile and variable, strange and unknown, chaotic and uncertain.

The inherent challenge of Learning Our Way to the Next Alberta is now that we can be anything we want to be, what exactly is it that we want to be?
