In the 2025 Resilient Youth: State of the Nation Report, of 140 000 respondents only 18 per cent of primary and 16 per cent of secondary students reported having a ready to learn mindset. Leveraging Future Anything Capability Framework, we’ll explore the capability that is at the heart of building agency in the classroom; agility.

This session is NOT just for English teachers. Ha ha. Why? Because STORY is far more than just the stories we read in books, watch at the movies, and hear around the dinner table. STORY is the very way that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US makes sense of our world. We think in stories. It is the operating system of our consciousness. And it is also THE way that we shape collective identity (for better or for worse). Yet few of us have been taught of its incredible shaping force in our lives.

So, if we want to equip students to navigate the 21st century with clarity, empathy, self-understanding and critical thinking, we MUST empower them with a foundational understanding of STORY. This is what narrative intelligence is all about. It is a framework for both becoming aware of the shaping force of STORY and learning how to harness it well within ones life. A framework we will be unpacking in this session.
