Show Notes

In this episode of Futures Lit, Jen Ross speaks with international education and development specialist Fiona Pakoa. 

Fiona grew up in Africa and Latin America. She then worked in Africa and the Pacific, before changing pace to create some work-life balance. Fiona re-invented herself in Australia in the international education sector, before later returning to work in Africa.  

The common futures literacy skills, which you'll hear weaving through Fiona's story, are the ability to take calculated risks, try new things and be willing to potentially fail.
