The workshop involved WISE participants in work initiated by Ashoka. It brought together innovative individuals who designed together an integrated system for learners that can be replicated in different contexts. Usually, innovations remain local, or are developed in parallel to the traditional system (cf. alternative pedagogy movements), or focus on one age group. How can policy makers, educators and social entrepreneurs build meaningful new education pathways to empower learners and thereby create systemic change?
