EPISODE 2
Human Relationships, AI, and the Future of Flourishing with Sir Anthony Seldon
Welcome to Flourishing in Education, the official podcast of the International Positive Education Network (IPEN). This podcast brings together leading global voices to explore the science and practice of positive education, supporting educators, leaders, and communities in advancing wellbeing and human flourishing across educational contexts.
In this warm and wide-ranging conversation, host and IPEN Chair Dr. Anne Johnstone speaks with Sir Anthony Seldon – historian, author, former headmaster of Wellington College and Brighton College, and IPEN founder and President. Sir Anthony’s conviction is both simple and radical: that human relationships are the heart of great education – the means and the end. From what the best teachers and school leaders actually do, to Howard Gardner’s quietly revolutionary reframing of intelligence, to the profound question AI now puts to all of us about human agency, this episode offers a deeply human lens on where education has been and where it must go. An inspiring conversation for educators, leaders, and changemakers committed to building schools where every young person can flourish.
Listen below to explore how education might evolve to meet the challenges – and possibilities – of our time.
