This manifesto discusses evolving approaches to learning and education. It advocates for a "Knowmadic" paradigm where learning is complex, creative, and self-organizing rather than hierarchical. Relationships are holographic rather than mechanical. Reality is viewed as contextual rather than objective. The author believes schools should prepare students to be "knowmads" - nomadic knowledge workers who can learn and work anywhere. By 2020, 45% of the workforce may be knowmads. The future belongs to creative thinkers who can break rules thoughtfully and build trust. The author promotes an open, flat, impactful, networked approach to transforming education through collaboration.
10. Peter Gray
We are so obsessed with measuring things that we think
we can measure an education; but we can’t.

18. Knowmad Society (2013), p. 18
A knowmad is a nomadic knowledge worker –that is, a creative,
imaginative, and innovative person who can work with almost
anybody, anytime, and anywhere.
