Based on the concept of the ”unforeseen” we argue that traditional didactic models are not sufficient as strategic planning models for education and training where the unexpected is involved. The reason being that traditional models are subject to goals and objectives, which are missing as soon as education is preoccupied with unforeseen events. Hence, there is a need to find structures that can replace traditional didactic thinking. This presentation gives a brief introduction of principles for new educational factors which we describe as ”didactic levels of the unforeseen”, as a contribution to a more comprehensive and flexible didactic model with regard to education and training for unforeseen events. For example, such an education may consist of discussions related to awareness of certain danger signals in society. Such an organizational and didactical thinking will not only be relevant for those working in schools and the education system, but for all sorts of works, as part of a strategic development of competence for employees and managers. The didactic model is also open for unforeseen events that do not involve dangerous incidents and situations, for example situations that spontaneously appear in a class, or situations that differ from that which is planned.
