LIBERA IL BENE
Innovation is a process, not a method
New people for new processes
Without trust, no innovation! (Not buyable. But destroyable)
No change and innovation without community building
Allocating & Monitoring VS. Being useful
Not only a person responsible for the procedures, but mainly responsible procedures
Change is contagion, and is contagious
Nothing will happen as planned This may be a good news…
WHAT NEXT ?
Some keywords of the new initiatives we are planning..
- Communty organizer / youth workers
- National Citizen Service
- Voluntary work
- Youth centres as places of
non-formal education and participation
- More skills, learning-by-doing, peering
- 2.0 approach
“In times of change, learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves
beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.”
