Tiivistelmä
The Nordic welfare model is facing a significant challenge due the ageing population. This emphasises the need of radical innovations also in the case of wellbeing and security education. Therefore in this study we are
evaluating participant heterogeneity and foresight driven idea generation process ability to foster especially radical ideas. Our iterative multi-actor and multi-phased idea generation process resulted following seven main idea themes: 1) multi-cultural and language, 2) learning environments, 3) changing operational environment, 4) development and technological know-how, 5) multidisciplinary and life-long learning, 6) interaction and communication and 7) short term courses. We found some support that participant heterogeneity and alternative scenarios are indeed helping to generate diverse educational ideas. However, most of the generated ideas could be considered as incremental instead of radical innovation from educational system point of view.
