The Projectique international colloquium on the theme “Entrepreneurship and innovation in training: sharing educational experiences” was originally scheduled in Agadir in April 2020. The challenge of this international colloquium was to question the new ways of approaching pedagogy in higher education. The colloquium could not take place due to the health crisis of 2020, however, we wanted to bring this meeting to life and allow contributors to participate in a Projectique journal, which will then give rise to a collective work entitled “Entrepreneurship and Innovation in training at the university”.
Many tools currently make it possible to “undertake training differently”, especially within programs, diplomas that are becoming more and more complex and mobilise tools from digital, simulation, situation, project-based pedagogy, pedagogy by action, skills-based approach within increasingly international curricula. The health crisis of 2020 has disrupted our daily lives and has led us to rethink all the more the approach to teaching and the constant need to innovate in order to face new educational challenges.
A collective work is planned for the last quarter of 2021. Before that, we wanted, first of all, to publish nine articles by authors from the University of Lorraine and Universiapolis of Agadir in the Projectique review in order to answer the following problematic:
“How will the diversification of learning methods and innovation in the pedagogical environment allow the student to develop new skills?”
At a time when many questions are being asked about how to teach, this thematic issue presents experiences carried out by actors and professionals of training in different fields and on how to undertake and innovate in and through training from an original point of view. The choice of these articles is also evidence of the success of the collaboration that has existed between the University of Lorraine and Universiapolis of Agadir for 20 years now. Beyond the professional framework, friendly relations were born between the two institutions based on common values and the desire to always learn from each other.
