Let’s question ourselves...

INNOCLUDENCE: INNOVATION, INCLUSION, EXCELLENCE

The 10 top in-demand jobs did not exist in 2004.

Are we preparing our children for the future jobs?

INNOCLUDENCE: INNOVATION, INCLUSION, EXCELLENCE

One week of the New York Times contains more information then it

could possibly ever be obtained in the XVIII Century during an entire lifetime

How can we manage all this information?

INNOCLUDENCE: INNOVATION, INCLUSION, EXCELLENCE

The volume of information produced in 2010 will be greater

than in the last 5000 years.

Who has access to all this information? Who doesn’t?

INNOCLUDENCE: INNOVATION, INCLUSION, EXCELLENCE

90% of the teenagers in the world have a portable electronic game, a

cellular phone or a computer.

What about those that don’t? Who are they?What will their future be like?

INNOCLUDENCE: INNOVATION, INCLUSION, EXCELLENCE

200 million migrants.

This would represent the 5th largest country in the world.

70% of teachers in Portugal consider it necessary to have new strategies

developed specifically for the children of immigrants.

How can schools manage diversity and promote inclusion at the same time?

INNOCLUDENCE: INNOVATION, INCLUSION, EXCELLENCE

Find the differences

School has changed, but how much?

A NEW EDUCATIONAL PARADIGM IS NECESSARY

«The school’s current role is to be able to recognise the

differences in the students (…) and to find strategies for

adjustment and development that respect and include

all. This is true democracy.»

Cunha, P. D’Orey, 1992

INNOCLUDENCE: INNOVATION, INCLUSION, EXCELLENCE

Intercultural dialogue is the key...

INNOCLUDENCE: INNOVATION, INCLUSION, EXCELLENCE

The utopia of dialogue “If the anti-utopias of the 20th century inscribed themselves in the

communication area, it is also in the domain of communication that the great utopian projects, capable of triggering transformation in the relationships among people, must be rooted. That is why the utopian space can be, one the one hand, the interior space of the individual, and on the other hand, the space of communication among people…

Therefore, we must search for the new utopias not in places, but in the relations and communications among people.”

(J.M. André, 2005)

To learn is to make meaning of one’s own experience...

Before helping someone to read the word, help him to read the world.

Nobody teaches anything to anyone; people learn and build their own knowledge from each other.

Paulo Freire, 1972
