PROJECT

This Project began with several philosophers of education from different countries coming together, who shared common concerns regarding the trends of neoliberal influences on educational policies and practices.

We believe, that philosophers of education and educationists should jointly take action to reach educational policy makers in order to change the current educational paradigm, also taking into account different traditions from different parts of the World. The main purpose of this particular project is to consolidate, at the international level, the efforts of thinkers on education and educationists concerned with the current state of education in order to counter the negative impacts on human flourishing. We believe that a renewal of educational values can be developed through a critical rethinking of human education and its long-term consequences, and by developing constructive ideas and proposals that are most relevant for a globalized world. The Project has been developed by a group of leading philosophers of education being concerned about dehumanizing trends in education and significant growth of commercial and technicist approaches to it.
