• THE AMBITION TO DO BETTER

Every five years our knowledge becomes obsolete and our education system does not offer yet a formative path that answers this problem.

The professional performance that each one wants to have is what will determine the educational path to be followed. The diploma or certificate does not enable anyone. New
generations of professionals will be seeking for new ways of learning to build their own knowledge.

It is necessary to know more and find answers to questions that have not yet been asked. New skills will need to be developed.

The ability to admit that we are in constant ignorance will be the only possible path for the new times. Curiosity must arise the delight of always being a learner again.

The classroom no longer has walls. Education is more distributed, collaborative and shared. Everyone has access to knowledge without barriers or distances. Networks will be the privileged platforms for knowledge distribution.

Each of us has something to teach and to learn. Talents are diffused in each individual. When in networking it will always be easier to unite diverse intelligences to solve the most complex problems.

There is no shortage of content and it is easier to access, but it is crucial to choose what we really know. Everything is available, but it is increasingly difficult to choose.

The future of education involves the ability to choose, customise and gain access to the content that really matters to one’s life project.
