“Learning Commnities” Project
Learning Communities is a project of school transformation. It responds to the new challenges and needs created by the shift from the industrial to the information society. In the current information society, success depends on people’s intellectual abilities, lifelong learning and the capability of adaptation and innovation become key, consequently helping maintain or increase social exclusion and marginalisation. The Learning Communities project in Barcelona deeply transforms the school and its context through a permanent, integral and participatory education which is based on the communicative approach of social and educational sciences. It is therefore oriented not to adaptation but to transformation of the social context and social interactions, so that the whole community is involved in the project and all work together ii) towards a common objective: the best school for all the children. The project has been led by CREA (Centro Especial de Investigación en Teorías y Prácticas Superadoras de Desigualdades, Universidad de Barcelona).
