Political
and economic wars, natural and nuclear disasters, pollution of natural
resources, extinction of animals, racist/fundamentalist/nationalist movements,
terrorism… What was next? I was personally expecting to see a monster or an
alien, just like the ones in action movies. The monster/alien has come in the
form of a virus, which has had a global impact on every aspect of life and especially on education since the
beginning of 2020. Teachers, in every corner of the world, had to adapt to a
new way of life and a new way of teaching in a week, and the uncertainty seems
to be with us longer than we ever imagined. So where do we go now? This
presentation attempts to touch on the aspects that will never be the same again
in education and training for all of its stakeholders and to suggest setting
new goals and having a positive perspective.
