Education 10.5

This is my new 10 blog. Why 10.5 ? First answer is simple, today we are on the 5th of October and 10.5 is the name and the birthday of this virtual land.
Also since since 1994, 10.5 commemorates the anniversary of the signing in 1966 of the UNESCO/ILO Recommendation Concerning the Status of Teachers.
Here we are, on 10.5, my blog about EDUCATION and FUTURE OF EDUCATION.

I believe that EDUCATION is facing one of the most dramatical transformation in the last hundreds of years and I am sure that this process will lead to a wonderful era of the human race.
It is not an easy moment, for everyone it looks like a major crisis but crisis is a powerful point of transformation. We must embrace the change, we must accept the challenge, we must be responsible for our dreams but most of all for our children and grandchldren's dreams.

So let's start the journey in our future selves.

" If I look into the hearts of people, sometimes I can sense what they dream of. If I talk to them I can understand their needs. Their need for surprise, for security, for contribution and growth, for individuality and familiarity. Humanity creates an endless flow of illusions and hope.
So many girls want to be beautiful princesses or flying elves, so many boys want to feel cunning knights or wise kings. Why don't we make it our goal to realize those dreams, contribute deeply to the lives of others and ourselves in the meantime.
It is our responsibility to be magicians, to be jesters, to be alchemists, to create hope where there is only illusion, to create reality where there are only dreams."
