Futures Studies express a deep concern for the negative effect school education has on young people‟s images of the future and their proactive attitude to the future. Here, images are regarded as cultural maps and the article attempts to outline a model of interaction in the classroom, which may be useful in understanding how school practices may affect images. Given the cultural perspective on images, the analysis focuses on social processes, which organise the creation, negotiation, and distribution of cultural inventories in the classroom, of which the meanings and meaningful expressions about the future(s) are a part.

Abstract
Futures Studies express a deep concern for the negative effect school education has on young people‟s images of the future and their proactive attitude to the future. Here, images are regarded as cultural maps and the article attempts to outline a model of interaction in the classroom, which may be useful in understanding how school practices may affect images. Given the cultural perspective on images, the analysis focuses on social processes, which organise the creation, negotiation, and distribution of cultural inventories in the classroom, of which the meanings and meaningful expressions about the future(s) are a part.File in questo prodotto:
