DESCRIPTION:This talk introduces the emerging research field of Futures-Or
 iented Science Education (FOSE)\, focussing on its potential to revalue ph
 ysics teaching as a source of rich and important competences for navigatin
 g societies where acceleration and uncertainty are intensified by multiple
 \, intersecting crises. Drawing on the history of Futures Studies\, I will
  discuss how FOSE prompts us to reconsider the epistemic and axiological f
 oundations of physics\, and to draw on interdisciplinary approaches that b
 ridge the natural sciences\, social sciences and humanities to foster futu
 res literacy. Examples from empirical studies and classroom implementation
 s developed in the European project FEDORA will be used to illustrate two 
 key findings. The first concerns the persistence—and the strong influenc
 e—of Modernity’s dominant conception of the future within contemporary
  schooling. The second shows that core ideas from complex systems science 
 can strengthen secondary students’ futures literacy by opening them to a
 lternative forms of temporality and by supporting more positive and imagin
 ative engagements with possible futures. \n\nSpeakers:\nProfessor Olivia L
 evrini (University of Bologna)\, Professor Sibel Erduran (University of Ox
