Educational context

We are facing social, democratic and environmental challenges that require us to adapt and invent new ways of doing things.

We must therefore develop these 21st century skills which will allow us to be adaptable in the face of the unknown. Adaptability, collaboration, creativity cannot be transmitted, because they affect our relationship with the world. They need to be developed by the learner.

With this in mind, we aspire to an education focused on professional skills, where learners actively participate in the construction of their own knowledge and their professionalization.
