About Stephanie

Stephanie Wössner is a freelance consultant and speaker specializing in future-oriented learning, with a focus on extended reality, game-based learning, AI, design, futures thinking, the metaverse, and learning environments. Until 2019, she worked full-time as a foreign language teacher and is currently head of the Future of Learning division at the State Media Center of Baden-Württemberg. Alongside her work, she earned a Master of Arts in Game Studies and a Master of Science in Game-based Media and Education in 2024 from the Center for Applied Game Research at Danube University for Continuing Education in Krems, Austria. In February 2025, she published a book titled Future:Guide Education – learning how to design the future (only available in German).

She firmly believes that our understanding of education must fundamentally change—and that we must actively shape this transformation. That’s why her work centers on forward-thinking impulses for the transformation of (lifelong) learning. In a digitally connected and constantly evolving world, she sees the need to collaboratively shape a human-digital future—an era in which technology supports and enhances human capabilities.

She sees great potential in developing competencies through play—particularly through game-based learning and virtual worlds that enable self-directed, immersive, and collaborative learning experiences. For her, this is key to the future of learning and to building a livable human-digital world.
