We continue the meeting series All Schools Should Be Art Schools with the screening of the educational documentary Most Likely to Succeed.
Made in 2015, the film shows how most school systems are designed around an outdated 19th century (early industrial age) model, an "organizational device opposed to the principles of education" as Ken Robinson puts it, irrelevant to contemporary economies - global and massively digitized.
What other school models are possible? What does a school without hours look like? How can education be done in the absence of clear subjects? What happens to education when teachers are free to choose their content and students decide what they want to learn?
Most Likely to Succeed tries to answer these questions by analyzing the activity of a public high school in San Diego (USA), interviewing students, parents, teachers and experts in the area of educational and economic policies.
We end the meeting with a discussion-workshop and a homework.
All Schools Should be Art Schools is a project proposed by Minitremu and Brigita Onaca, in collaboration with Babel School and Highschool - the first school with experiential learning in Romania, General School No. 2, General School No. 6, Timisoara, Secondary School No. 19 Avram Iancu and Kindergarten with Extended Program No. 23, Timișoara.
