Fundraising for the “Abril da Educação” tour where the educational designer José Pacheco and Psychopedagogue Ludmilla Duarte will present the New Social Constructions of Learning in Portugal.
In this year of greater community movements, we want to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 25th of April and manifest the next 50 years in edcucation. The objective of this tour is for it to be reproduced and replicated wherever it passes. The free and accredited training for teachers is followed by a public debate to raise awareness and connect the many projects and people spread across each location.
Today, rates of youth suicide, teacher “workout” and functional illiteracy are growing.
Contemporary human projects are not in line with the school practices we still have, they lack a new ethical system and a clear axiological matrix, based on knowing how to care and live together.
They require that we abandon stereotypes and prejudices, that we transform an obsolete school into a school that gives everyone and everyone opportunities to be and learn – that guarantees everyone the right to education.
If modernity tends to send us towards an individualistic ethic, it will never be enough to talk about coexistence and dialogue, as conditions for learning that promote sustainable human development.
From the classroom and what we are, what we know and what we know how to do, it is urgent to affirm the possibility of conceiving a new social construction of learning, in which, effectively, an integral education takes place.
There is an urgent need to innovate, humanize and refound the School.
