Rino Levesque was interviewed by two researchers in education and training sciences who were interested in his original ideas. Throughout this interview he looks back on his career and the way in which he developed his educational approach starting from the observation that the learning difficulties of young people are poorly taken into account by school and by society to end up proposing a new educational approach“conscious entrepreneurship.” It is a question of bringing young people to “manage themselves” in a “conscious” way to learn to act positively for themselves for others and for nature and to give them the opportunity during school time to express themselves and build their confidence and self-esteem through very concrete projects where they are put into action into reflection and valued. It is ultimately for young people the challenge of responsibility. More than 200 primary secondary and vocational schools have currently been developed according to this concept.
