New Questions around democracy
In terms of education, one thing one must ask ourselves is:
- How to overcome the pressure that official tests scores put on us?
- What are the political roles of teacher? (“I think teachers nowadays do not act politically”)
Suggestions for the international Network and connection with the Foundation
(Referring to online platforms) Because of my time and my routines – online platforms do not work for me. We could have some time, during the meetings, to share what you are doing, experimenting on, etc. (…) Through that you can get more contributions. That would be very interesting and productive.
Quotes/Insights
“The material that I developed at the foundation – I taught my students to deliberate. And I have to do it everyday with my children (from the project). Of course I do not use it as a textbook – but it is now part of who I am and how I work.
