I am part of the group of the Educational Perspective of the Projects (PEPT) of the Institute of Sciences of the Education of the University of Barcelona. Trainer of the Educational Perspective of the Projects (PEPT), from which I try to reinvent other routes linked to innovation and change in the school. Author of various publications related to innovation in the school linked to the PEPT, mathematical culture of the people, the desire for change and social creativity. I understand education as an enabler landscape which allows people to think with each other and build stories to transform us. A school as horizon territory, which makes it possible to be in a shared creation. That invites a contagion that will fuse, which links and confuse in a shared movement.
