Dear Vincent,<br />
I admit my knowledge of child soldiers is limited to the academic. I did not mean to imply that education was not important. I believe that education and teaching people to THINK is most important. I have made a lot of sacrifices to obtain my own education, and I love to think and learn!<br />
I have a Master's degree in Psychology and Counseling. I have been a peace activist since the late 60's. I am in America, and I believe it is important for all of us to teach and learn together. I…

Hello Vincent<br />
<br />
Sorry for the the delay in answering your question and "challenge"<br />

Hello Vincent<br />
<br />
Sorry for the the delay in answering your question and "challenge"<br />
I have been working as peace education orientator for 10 years with experience in working with children and adults.<br />
Like you, i see educational pedagogy as the primary thing to adress in order to contribute for a more balance developed human being.<br />
<br />
Our education has been frame worked within a cartesian-newtonian conceptualization wich brought out a fragmented and highly unbalenc developed human being, ie, we have our reazoning highly developed but we lack of emotional and spiritual development.<br />
<br />
So, education needs to came out from the cartesian framework of adressing only the reazoning and the "manufacturing" and enlarge its focus to include also the ability to deal both with inner personal emotions as well as the emotional of others. In other words, an education who promotes the development of all inteligences:<br />
logical-mathematical<br />
verbal-lingustic<br />
musical<br />
spacial<br />
kinestesic<br />
intrapersonal<br />
interpersonal<br />
<br />
Further more, we need to change the metodology of an authoritarian setting where students are complied to accept an authority who tells them what to do and when to do, disregarding their interests and their momentary curiosity about the world.<br />
So, yes, i very much agree with you that we need to take the walls out of the school but we need to also to remember to pay attention to the importance of getting out the alls of teachers minds; we all know that a student can only be lead by the teacher to the point of the path he himself has already gone through....<br />
<br />
My experience...<br />
<br />
i have been working with teachers on Holistic Education, trying to give my contribute on our education to be better agents of Unesco's Education Orientations for the 21st century<br />
<br />
I have been sharing experiences with adults and young people in general through a metodology of Personal Ecology, Social Ecology and Planetary Ecology, experimenting instruments of attunement with our inner habilities to understand and use our body, emotional and spiritual inteligence and to do this also with others and with our planet.<br />
<br />
So, because you have the overall view of the ipeace university project and managment, i leave for you to tell me in what way my experience can be use.<br />
<br />
Smiles for your heart<br />

Thanks for helping me relearn a bit of my lousy schoolboy French. I am not sure whether the one word (Apprendre) or two (Teach and Learn) are most useful. We know that good teachers help students learn new things and to learn how to learn things. In English, teacher often implies a hierarchical, one-way process: Teacher ==> Student.

Hi Vincent,<br />
<br />
Building and inventing new things feels good. We can all learn much from history, Often the best way is how the Japanese rebuilt their economy after WWII. That was to find and copy and use the best there is now. Once they mastered that, then they started to build and invent new things. That achieved good results for them.<br />
<br />
Hope you had a great burpday. :-)

But I wasn't an ordinary student because i hated the walls of my schools, and i'm not an ordinary teacher because i continue to hate the walls of the schools... I'm teaching in a public middle school in South of France, Provence... I like it, i need to talk every day with my students. I teach to them like they teach to me. Every day. But i taught in various schools. I taught in Africa, facing to 150 amazing children, with just a piece of chalk: I liked it... I taught in Middle East with a high-tech environment: i liked it. I taught to children, adults, teachers, prisonners in jails: i liked it. Now i'm able to teach to the world. Because i'm a dreamer. I dream all day long. I know that i am a new teacher in the globalized world. I have suppressed the walls. We are just a few in the world but we are strong, because we are dreamers. My classroom is now a flatclassroom.<p style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/35288817?profile=original" alt="" width="333" height="249"/></p>
I can invite anyone in my real classroom with my virtual classroom. Just need a webcam and a microphone...

and also Ellen from Portland. And i worked last week with Lorraine (USA), Ann (Australia), Helena (Portugal), Grazina (Lituania) and many others for global projects.<p style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/35288790?profile=original" alt="" width="380" height="265"/></p>
This is a new way for education. We are pionners. Our last frontier is free education for hundreds of billions people. It is our big challenge for the current century i want to share with you. We have just one God, our General Intellect... The last issue to improve the world is Education... I love you all !<br />

Hi Paul,<br />
<br />
Instead compilating ressources and materials avalaible in the Internet, maybe our way will be to build ressources and materials... something new, based on our general intellect. Try to read for example what the italian philosopher Toni Negri sait about General Intellect in his book Empire.
