The United Nations Transforming Education Summit begins today.

Among the continuous urgencies and emergencies of a world in increasing complexity, rethinking of education systems after the pandemic and within the technological revolution is a political issue of primary importance.
It is often said that we risk taking the future away from young people. Well, we believe that it is worse: more and more, in fact, we do not allow them to live the future already present.
