Project-Based Learning, when properly implemented, is a springboard for connectedness and community building. And no matter what the broligarchy try to tell you, these are what we need most urgently, and what will carry us through the polycrisis of late capitalism.

When learners focus every day on creating something they find meaninful, or that their community needs - and when they consistently work together to do so- they develop exactly the skills that robots neither have nor can defeat. They become skilled in being in kinship with one another, and with everything around us.

Again, this assumes proper and consistent implementation of PBL. PBL is just scaffolded, supported, experiences of the deep complexities of life. It is learning through experience in multiple dimensions, without those experiences needing to be traumatic or harmful. A chaperoned exploration of the facets of being human is what we have always dreamed #education could be, and this formula lies at our feet.

Most powerfully for me, learners who work on meaningful, authentic projects in structured collaboration learn to reject the colonial ideologies of 𝗱𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 + 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 .
