Synopsis

This fourth volume goes beyond a mere continuation of the previous ones; it demonstrates that teaching innovation can be consolidated as a shared culture rather than a sporadic initiative. Over time, the project has expanded by integrating new voices, extending its scope, and reflecting critically on both successes and limitations.

The volume is structured in two sections, corresponding to the social sciences and the humanities, the two major domains within which this project develops.
