TeachLearn is to live

The Four Perspectives group is committed to solving the problem of educating educators. The proposal is to equip educators to stimulate educational spaces as spaces of action-research, contextualized in the students' diverse realities, in order to build sustainable futures. Students who become protagonists of their education are able to take advantage of their own strengths and weaknesses to build desirable futures for Latin America and the Caribbean.

Latin America and the Caribbean is a region of profound social inequality, which directly reflects on the quality of the teaching process. A significant majority of students leave school semi-literate and discouraged from exploring their intellectual capacity. Educators have almost none of the technological subsidies that were used for their training. The classroom is a place for ordering human beings, decreasing the possibilities of physical mobility and horizontal interaction, which forces the educator to exercise primarily the role of maintaining order rather than stimulating curiosity and complex thinking.

The Four Perspectives intend to work with educators to reconstruct the teachlearning space as a dynamic and complex territory, creating connectivity between the realities of the teacher and of the students.

Design processes for changing a classroom in an action-research territory in order to understand reality from the micro to macro scale. Thus, it is possible to propose more sustainable and autonomous future scenarios for Latin America and the Caribbean.

at the moment we are four full-time professors

We are university professors engaged with the prior training of our university students. Some have held administrative positions and others develop projects at the university with high school students.

Unicamp has had an agreement with public schools in the region for more than 20 years to have mid-level students as members of research groups in all of its areas of knowledge

our solution will help educators, students and employers because it will train independent, dependable and creative professionals.

Our solution will be paid for by investors and public authorities because, when investing in citizens, they value professionals who respond to both the vicissitudes of the market and the needs of society

after the TPrize online workshop, the group realize that together we will be able to accomplished our aims in a more solid basis
