IGUANA - Improving School Governance using an Action Learning Approach (2012-2015)

It was a LLP project. IGUANA addressed a key problem for the objectives of EU2020 and ET2020, with their focus on modernising the school system; reducing school drop-out rates and ensuring that schools contribute effectively to making the EU ‘the most competitive economy in the world'. This key problem is resistance to change - or ‘stuckness' - defined as ‘a person, a family, or a wider social system enmeshed in a problem in persistent and repetitive ways, despite desire and effort to alter the situation'.
