Film Synopsis
We’re living in times of sweeping changes, crises and disorientation. The financial system, energy, climate change: All the problems in these areas have one thing in common, they were created by humans. Many were created by humans educated at the world’s best universities and institutions. Is this mess a side effect of their education, or the underlying attitudes and approach? Is the main problem the structure of our brains, and therefore the structure of our outdated thinking? We will never find the courage and inspiration to solve tomorrow’s problems by applying yesterday’s solutions!
我们生活在变化、危机和迷失的时代。金融系统、能源、气候变化：这些领域的所有问题都有一个共同点，它们都是由人类创造的。许多是由在世界上最好的大学和机构接受教育的人创造的。这是他们教育的副作用，还是潜在的态度和方法？主要问题是我们大脑的结构，以及我们过时思维的结构吗？我们永远找不到勇气和灵感去用昨天的解决方案来解决明天的问题！
Nowhere else is that fact so obvious as in our educational system, where the greatest opportunities and talents are eradicated by improper methods and forcing everyone into standardized molds. Rather than standardization and economic utility, creativity, diversity and sustainability must be the focus of new educational institu- tions! In the future, education must abandon yesterday’s sys- tematic preaching from on high and instead foreground the re- alization of potential and enriching students through diversity and variety.
And lastly: Who will start this process if we don’t?!
在我们的教育体系中，没有其他地方如此明显，因为在我们的教育体系中，最大的机会和人才被不正当的方法所根除，并迫使每个人都进入标准化的模具。创造力、多样性和可持续性必须成为新的教育机构的重点，而不是标准化和经济效用！在未来，教育必须放弃高水平上陈旧的系统说教，相反，应通过前景和再化多样性来突出潜力和丰富学生。
最后：如果我们不这样做，那将由谁开始这个过程？
A non-profit organization that promotes awareness, facilitates actions, implements projects, and stimulates change toward sustainable models of growth and consumption.
