ABOUT US
our philosophy
In the School of Disobedience you will be encouraged to produce and share knowledge and tools to imagine the framework for a new world where the focus is shifted from competition, career, fame, glory and visibility to mutualisation, cooperation, collaboration, support and care. A new world where you don't have to obey the gaze and judgements of others, deal with the pressures of the profession and respond to the expectations of gatekeepers and standard-bearers. Putting the body, emotions and critical theory on the same level, this new world is constructed beyond dualisms, where you constantly look for ambiguity, nuance and different shades of grey, celebrate in-betweens, wiggle room, doubt and uncertainty, welcome diversity, applaud critical and divergent thinking, celebrate disagreement, dissent, resistance and non-conformity.
You will be given the opportunity to build a creative healing space together to connect, collaborate, learn and create with your peers.
A space where you can reflect on yourself as an individual and as a member of a community.
Where you can find ways to support yourself and others.
Where you can develop, progress and grow.
Gain confidence and strength through friendship, trust and togetherness.

what is school?
For a school of tomorrow, I want to create an environment that is above all joyful and positive, where students are accepted, respected, challenged and encouraged beyond constructive criticism. Where students are neither pigeonholed nor judged. Where students can express themselves openly and simply. Where they are taught autonomy and independence without being abandoned, where they are guided and supported in their projects and their dreams. Where students not only have the right to go against conventions and norms, but are encouraged to do so. Where other forms of knowledge than the theoretical are considered and taught. Perception, empathy, emotions, intuition.
Personal stories, life experiences.
In the school of tomorrow, teachers do not tell students what to think, what to believe, but open doors for them, offering a variety of possibilities, knowledge, tools, ways of doing and seeing. Teachers do not take advantage of the young age and extreme sensitivity of students to influence them, to impose their personal beliefs and struggles on them. Instead, they teach critical thinking, doubt and scepticism.
Open-mindedness, curiosity, empathy.
This school would then be humane, warm and generous.
This school will educate students, teach them to trust themselves, to believe in themselves, to be themselves.
This school will make students authentic, sincere and courageous.
That's how they will face the world.
