Implicit Anthropology of 
Reforms in Education :

IMANARE

Uncovering the Human Behind European Education Reforms
A European Erasmus+ project investigating the hidden assumptions about humanity that shape education reforms across Europe.

Our Project

Making the implicit anthropology of educational reforms explicit allows for critical reflection on their underlying values and assumptions, opening space for more meaningful, transparent, and democratically grounded educational policies. The project is structured into four Work Packages.

1.

Project Management

This package ensures smooth implementation of the project through the coordination of administrative, financial, and reporting tasks, fostering effective collaboration among all partners.

2.

Academic Framework

This package forms the theoretical and conceptual core of the project. It includes a comprehensive literature review, development of a theoretical model, and an anthropology-based observation tool to analyze educational reforms.

3.

Practical Applications

This package translates theory into practice through tools, databases, and educational resources. Key activities include analysis of reform documents, creation of an online reforms database, an online training module, a summer school, and a video documentary.

4.

Dissemination and Broader Impact

This package focuses on communication, dissemination, and stakeholder engagement. It includes visibility materials, newsletters, public outreach, and scientific dissemination via articles, policy briefs, and a final white paper, supported by an international conference.

Objective

The project analyzes educational reforms through a combined theoretical and practical approach, using anthropological tools, data analysis, and applied resources to support policy-making and pedagogical innovation, while promoting knowledge dissemination and stakeholder engagement.
