Manifesto 25

Reclaim education with strategies for addressing modern challenges and driving systemic change.

Liberation of the Nike of Samothrace: A stark yet sophisticated contrast between classical tradition and emerging futures, capturing the transformative power of relentless questioning.

Question everything

Teachers at the crossroads

Activism as learning: When students teach the system a lesson

The very ground is being rewritten by the force of creative upheaval

Break the rules that break us

Earth as seen from space, with a futuristic vibe

The missing planet

Generations of learners

Learning together, teaching together

Learning at the edge of networks

An abstract depiction of the roots of learning, invisible below the surface, in a vast and varied landscape

Invisible learning is an organic process: Breathing, taking root, and becoming one’s self

This is an ecology based on imagination. Liberatory. Futuristic. Flowing. Rich.

No more boxes: Learning in ecosystems

A learner standing at a fork in a path. One leads to a rigid, uniform school building. The other leads to an open, collaborative learning space full of activity, light, and co-creation.

Learning at the intersection of agency and self-efficacy

illustration of a diverse group of students, ranging in age and background, seated in a glowing circular assembly under a twilight sky filled with neon constellations and abstract symbols of learning (books, networks, lightbulbs, justice scales). The students are animatedly speaking, voting, and creating together—each holding a glowing object symbolizing their voice or agency.

Kids are people, too

A small group of ethnically diverse educators and students seated in a circle in a sunlit but slightly worn classroom. The mood is raw, grounded, and honest—centered on trust, community, and shared purpose.

In the absence of hope, we must build communities of trust

Retro, synthwave vision of schools with modern technology

1.0 schools cannot teach 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 … kids

An image of a group of youth standing before the planet

Educating for a shared planet

A large tree in Buenos Aires composed of LED lights

Building futures we cannot yet imagine

Toward creative futures, beyond standardization

We are all made of stories

Genuine equity demands creative schools

The future belongs to nerds, geeks, makers, dreamers, and knowmads

Measuring tape

Don’t value what we measure; measure what we value

Abstract light bulb

We cannot manage knowledge

Blindness

Reality is not optional: Defending education from disinformation, weaponized postmodernism, and the erosion of truth

Un hombre pone sus manos sobre los ojos de una mujer para que ella no pueda ver

La realidad no es opcional: Defender la educación de la desinformación, el posmodernismo utilizado como arma y la erosión de la verdad

A picture of a very ripe banana

Degrees are obsolete by design … when knowledge has the shelf life of a banana

Heart-shaped balloon floating in a cloudy sky

Authentic learning comes from freedom, not from being pushed into a predetermined path

Respect existence or expect resistance

Schools must be havens of uncommon safety and extraordinary respect

Bad use of technology is a symptom, not the problem
