Tell a story!
How do you tell a story? Some authors have looked for the invariants, the ingredients of effective storytelling... They found patterns, principles and tropes present in stories and cultures far apart. There's no magic recipe, but there are plenty of rules to follow, or to shake up!
Personality paths
Personality is not so much a state that's fixed once and for all, as a path that never stops branching off and finding its way. No matter where you start, no matter where you go, only the path counts.
Recognition at all costs and self-fulfilment
Recognition is the most common way of giving value to others, based on their involvement. However, a frantic quest for recognition can have a negative impact on self-fulfilment. Focusing more on collective recognition will enhance a system's success and create a solid foundation for openness to others and fruitful collaboration.
The quest for a better school life
The quest for a better school life is more and more emphasized in society to such an extent that many people feel deeply torn between the desire and the need to fill the gaps they feel. This translates into a constant desire to improve the school experience because even today this common place of learning does not fully constitute for all of us a joyful time of life when it could and should be.
Digital reading, prolific reading
Technological evolution is shaping new forms of reading, where the context, a pretext for letting the imagination run wild, is as important as the heart of the subject. This means greater freedom, but also new constraints for authors: building solid scenarios to enable young readers to travel virtually without losing the thread.
