Debates on Education with Sunanna Chand, Learning Innovation Strategist for the Remake Learning movement since 2015. Remake Learning is an extensive educational network of educators and innovators who, while fully respecting the city's history and unique features, are working together to reimagine and design future learning and its applications to local solutions. It is a model that aims for collaborative solutions to real problems and challenges in integration with their social context.

Summary
In 2007, a group of teachers in Pittsburgh started to meet up to consider how to approach student learning in a changing world, in which technology played a major role. They confirmed that they were not connected with their students and that students were subject to lots of information.
The first informal network was enlarged to discover different points of view and to seek learning tools both inside and outside school. This led to the creation of Remake Learning. In 2017, the network is made up of 500 organizations, including museums, libraries, not-for-profit organizations, universities, companies, entrepreneurs, artists, politicians and technology experts, among others.
The aim is to make learning motivating, relevant and inclusive. It should have a major practical component and also involve families. In fact, every now and then Remake Learning holds open days so that families can participate in the learning activities.
