'When everything has to change, imagination is needed' (Hector Aristizábal). This beautiful thought is so valuable, now that we are trying to let 'business as usual' continue and at the same time we increasingly understand that this is not possible! So today we have for you some examples of imagination and thinking in alternatives: a brand new podcast about an alternative to the current education system called No School, an essay on the challenges of the alternative: digital education and a wonderful talk about how we can look differently at painful situations in our lives and society. Plus, we ask you to share your imagination…Enjoy!
