Quote on the black board: 

‘From a pracmatist point of view, to say what is rational for us now to believe may not be true, is simply to say that somebody may come up with a better idea. It is to say that there is always room for improved belief, since new evidence, or new hypotheses,
or a whole new vocabulary, may come along...* Rorty

The project ”All the things we know...you know - School for Non Productive learning” is a school - and a neighbourhood project - focusing on what we have chosen to call “non-productive” learning, human interaction, dialogue, solidarity and social skills. school for non-productive learning’ is based on the idea of a ‘bottom-up’ participatory structure in education, rather than a top-down, closed, mandatory structure? The project focus on construction of identity, and collective (political) (self organized) actions in the city.
