Creating a New Narrative for the Next Alberta

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. These three questions are points of departure on a new journey to the future:

  1. What is the Alberta the world needs to see?
  2. What kind of Albertans do we need to become to get us there?
  3. How will leadership in learning help us become our best selves?

As Albertans move further into the province's second century we find ourselves entering a new, complex holistic way of thinking that will require us to revisit our assumptions and reshape our future. The future is bound to be volatile and variable, strange and unknown, chaotic and uncertain. We have no choice but to Learn Our Way to the Next Alberta and in doing so create a sustainable and responsible prosperity for Alberta’s future. 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?
