Abstract

Having started from the assertion that human learning is the most agile process, it may sound fair to say that teaching needs a subsequent supple quality in order not to frustrate teachers’ ambitions. For this reason, this chapter brings forward adjacent genres, play and entrepreneurship methods that help to stay focused on actual socio/economic priorities that are not yet specified in the formal documents.
