Shaping Education: Innovation, Identity, and Inclusion

Abstract

Editorial for Formazione & insegnamento, 22(2). The editorial “Shaping Education: Innovation, Identity, and Inclusion” reflects on how education, inspired by the principles of Paulo Freire, can become a tool for social transformation. The issue explores three fundamental dimensions of contemporary education: innovation, identity, and inclusion. Innovation is seen not only as technological progress but also as a rethinking of educational practices. Identity emerges as the recognition and valorisation of cultural diversity within educational contexts. Inclusion is proposed as a guiding principle aimed at ensuring equal and universal access to learning. This issue of the journal offers insights and reflections on how these dimensions intertwine, building a more just, equitable, and inclusive educational system.
