In drafting this manifesto, education practitioners refected on their vision of education, its purpose and on their role in it. This work highlights the changes which are necessary to enable education to contribute to the future of sustainable democratic societies, presenting a new image of the teaching profession and a new ethos for teachers. This manifesto is addressed equally to everyone who takes an active role in education and learning who carries responsibility in this feld – at all levels of formal education, from pre-school to higher education, as well as in non-formal education and informal learning. In short, while it puts teachers at the centre, it concerns each and every one of us, whether as lifelong learners, as parents or as social, political or cultural actors.
