In Pursuit of Boredom: The Practice of the Art of Ennui

The fast and furious world that seems to demand we fill every waking hour of our days with activity for the sake of ‘productivity’ permeates our school educational systems. Schools have become frenetic spaces with crammed schedules meant to prevent any chance for boredom. 

 

But what if making space for boredom is just what we need to transform our schools? 

 

What if boredom and slowing down is the key to learning?

 

This website invites you on a journey in pursuit of Pedagogical BorEDom where we make space to:

 

Pause Slow down and make time for boredom  in the process of slowing down and creating time for boredom

 

Wonder and make time for the creative space between thought and action where we pose questions, generate ideas and conceptualize solutions

Create Act on our ideas by engaging in the act of conceptualizing and transforming education and life
