The Lab

The principle of the lab is based on meetings between actors of the educational system to analyze and propose scenarios of pedagogical piloting. The objective is to communicate, mutualize, valorize practices in order to develop them, to increase them.  The objective is also to create a network to exchange practices in Gironde (South West part of France), to co-build innovative proposals from thoughts coming from different actors of the education system (teachers, school heads, educational executives, researchers, institutional) .  It is about integrating the path of professional development through exchange, thought, monitoring, tool making and building innovation through proven practices on the ground.
