2.1. IT'S ALL ABOUT EDUCATION: MINDMAP

IT'S ALL ABOUT EDUCATION!

What is education?

The main ideas of the class can be summarized:

• Education is preparation for real life
• Present and future
• Different contexts: school home, society and media
• Contributing positively to society à treating others with respect
• Understanding where we come from, where we are and where we are going
• Connecting the “self” to the “other”, getting other perspectives
• Global citizenship (breaking stereotypes)
• Learning to learn – learning to think – learning to question.
• Skills, communication, life-long learning and manners.

       
    This is the collaborative mindmap we did in class:

Why are we doing our jobs in schools? What is education for? What should schools achieve?

Collaborative mindmap:
