Claudio Dondi, Senior Fellow of EDENSCIENTER, EFQUEL, MENON
Athens, 28th of October, 2011
Many radically negative views Policy makers, teachers, school heads,
too much discontinuous innovation,too little money, parents’ requirement, curricula… ALL GUILTY?
BUT - EU is not so bad in Pisa Results- A lot of good examples of schools- Network such as eTwinning
Gap of conformance?
Gap of innovation?
Gap of resources?
- +Less resourcesAngry teachers
Governments in emergency
Openness to consider changeAppeal of bottom-up initiative
Appeal of entrepreneurship
=• Favourable conditions for bottom up innovation• Negative context for follow up at system level
Existing school systems are often underperforming. Every bad education service produces long term damages. More investment is needed, but a better use of resources should also be searched.
Common critical change areas identified(policy makers, networks, foundations, teachers and parents associations, NGOs)
BUT
fragmentation of innovative initiatives is still the rule and impact of innovation at system level is insufficient.
From fragmentation to system interaction
From personal collaboration to institutional partnership
From self-referentiality to multi-stakeholders governance

Key competences
for LLL
• Need for a substantial and participative involvement in the initiative of as many as possible stakeholders feeling the need to change and to share their transformation experience in a collaborative and value-oriented framework of action.
• Common values = peace, democracy, sustainable development, respect for and valorisation of diversity, social cohesiveness, solidarity, participation, creativity and innovation.
The Learning School Initiative (LSI) wants to complement and facilitate existing funding sources (e.g. the EU Lifelong Learning Programme, World Bank subsidies and loans, National Governments Programmes, major Foundations worldwide) to build on existing results and to convey strategic investments on a synergetic programme recognised worldwide
We call for a massive mobilisation to map existing projects, innovative schools, available support funds Map of School Transformation. The map would help:•Schools to self-assess their orientation towards the necessary innovation and to find relevant partners worldwide and support agencies.•Funding Agencies to coordinate their action, to focus on change areas where funding support is insufficient, to identify relevant actors and avoid duplication of funding.•Educators and Researchers to collaborate in knowledge building on what works where at what conditions.•Existing networks to better cooperate and share resources and results to maximise their impact.
