Future Planet

Where will we go if the planet can no longer sustain us? How can we avoid making the same mistakes in space that we’ve made on earth? Is there a future off this planet?

This event will be livestreamed on this page from 12.30pm on Wednesday 6 March 2024.

In 2024, grab a bite with The Wheeler Centre as we serve up Lunch Orders: half-hour conversations that can be livestreamed into any classroom or library, and accessed as a recording from the following week.

While you’re nourishing your body, let us feed your mind with this series of fascinating deep dives into the future as our experts respond to our Term 1 Lunch Orders provocation: What does the future hold?

Each serving will open with a 10-minute soapbox where our expert will deliver their response. They will then be joined by the Wheeler Centre’s Youth Programming Manager, Bec Kavanagh, who will facilitate a 20-minute Q&A that students can participate in via Slido.

Lunch Orders will have you back into the schoolyard with time to spare, with a few extra facts to pack in your lunchbox too.
