Is it possible to teach, learn and train for something that is not yet known? This open access book is the first to present research-based studies of the values and dangers of unforeseen events related to education. The climate emergency, the Covid-19 pandemic, the rise of authoritarianism and extremism have placed new demands on different sectors’ views of knowledge, as well as the content and facilitation of education. The unforeseen interferes with the everyday life of everyone. The authors present pedagogy of the unforeseen as an opportunity, a productive moment, one can utilize for learning in which traditional views of knowledge, methods and strategies must be challenged. They argue that less emphasis should be placed on goals and results in school-based education and for teaching methods that better prepare students for unforeseen events.
