About this user

A documentary which examines the potential for a radical transformation of the way young people learn is released online today.

We Are The People Weve Been Waiting For, a film directed by Caroline Rowland and produced by New Moon is based on an idea by Lord Puttnam. It follows the lives of five Swindon-based teenagers and the challenges they face during their education. It reveals the dislocation between our education system and the rapidly changing, globalised world which is increasingly dominated by digital technology, and focuses on the need for fundamental change in teaching and learning.

The Premiere is taking place at an invitation-only event in Leicester Square on Tuesday 17th November and will be followed by a Q&A chaired by the Oscar-winning producer.

The film features a host of influential personalities who share their personal experience and opinion on the education system. Contributors include Sir Ken Robinson, Bill Bryson, Sir Richard Branson, Henry Winkler, Dame Ruth Silver and Germaine Greer.

Lord Puttnam said: Ive no doubt that We Are The People Weve Been Waiting For has the potential to be a powerful catalyst for overdue educational reform. We need to provide all of our young people with an education that motivates them to learn, and enables them to discover what they are good at. We Are The People Weve Been Waiting For is intended to act as nothing less than a wake-up call.

By exploring some of the more innovative approaches to education around the world, the film offers a glimpse of the future. It shows how much more flexible, exciting and engaging learning could be for young people - and how our education system could support them in identifying and making the most of their individual talents.
