2022 Posterheroes

When you stop learning, you start dying.

Albert Einstein

The new edition

We live in an era of information overload where people must continually reskill, upskill and get new skills. Learning follows the accelerated pace of technological progress, leaving behind those who cannot keep up. It is time to change the paradigm in favour of slow and sustainable learningthat aims to train conscious individuals in the name of cooperation, respect, and solidarity.

Posterheroes propose to reflect on the limits of current learning models and imagine future ones:MINDFUL OR MIND FULL?

Look up the brief and the regulation.
