For the last few decades, the Internet and technology have changed the world. Now, schools are trying to apply this revolution to education.\u00a0<\/p>\n
An education project backed by Pope Francis, titled 'Scholas,' launched a social network where schools from all over the world can share their experiences. It will help define what it truly means to study in the 21st century.<\/p>\n

\n'It makes no sense to have students listening passively in class. Now students want to be the protagonists of changes. They don't want to be treated as children anymore. A lot of people are doing great things, but nobody knows about them.\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n
To promote the culture of encounter, the social network 'Scholas.Social' will connect schools from both poor and developed countries. The main goal is to help specific needs meet specific solutions.<\/p>\n

\n'Once you have your profile, you can follow the projects and schools you find most interesting, \u00a0just like in any other social network. For example, a school can say 'I can donate 20 hours of IT lessons.' So the system registers that proposal, and finds the school that has that particular need.\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n
The platform is available in English, Spanish and Italian, but it will soon feature more languages. It also has a page where companies and individuals can donate money to help those schools and its students in need.<\/p>\n
More than 350,000 schools from all over the world have already joined Scholas. Now, thanks to 'Scholas. Social,' they will try to enhance education worldwide.<\/p>\n
