The school of tomorrow is the school of challenges. It must encourage students and teachers to take up challenges and to think of themselves as actors and authors of a collective intelligence.
The school of challenges is where the collective intelligence manifests itself. How can we help meet these challenges individually and collectively? Governance is an important issue for schools and more broadly for the planet; the key word is dialogue: we need places for dialogue and sharing, as well as tools for multi-scale dialogue and participatory democracy. We have to think about the ways of establishing findings and making collective decisions, with the intervention of experts who enlighten the collectives. Good democracy and good governance also require the training of actors.
Digital, on the other hand, presents challenges : social and territorial inequalities, taking into account pupils with special needs, etc. But it can allow variations to be created which will adapt to different needs by offering suitable solutions ; it will not replace teachers, but if it serves the community, it has great advantages.
In our unpredictable world, where we constantly face the unpredictable, we have to be creative. What is essential ? The collective, subsidiarity, trust.
