The proposals for the pedagogical renewal are motivated by the awareness of living in a problematic world. The social and academic interest is frequent in relation to how to act-behave well in a multicultural world, demanding soustainable development. In such a world, the advancement of human rights impedes the increase in illiteracy, hunger, poverty and injustice, in addition to promoting more dignity and freedom. From the viewpoint of Pedagogy one has to try hard to promote methodological renewals (popular education, socio-cultural animation, community development), which can educate us in order to be capable overcome these challenges. The main problem resides in the clarification of what type of individual, and what type of narrative actor should be placed in the theatre of living together that would carry out the mentioned methodologies, and above all, to achieve the required ethics of renewal. This should render the «metamodern» human being more ethical than cognitive.
