OBJECTIVES

The INTER network aspires to create a learning community where learning and teaching are understood to be a cooperative, active process that inevitably happens in a social context. It is a process that moves people (teachers, too) beyond the factors that condition them as people and professionals. Learning does not happen in a vacuum but rather in a specific and dynamic social context; it always happens with others, thanks to others. We think that we learn from experience preferably, and when we establish liinks between theory and practice. Cooperation with others is a priority for clarifying concepts and procedures and for learning from the experience of others.
