A prerequisite for its effective implementation is the formation of conditions of cooperation and authenticity in the context of action despite the obstacles posed by strict school programs and the culture of emphasis on results and not so much on the learning process. Challenge for innovation in school is one the one hand the acquisition of authentic learning experiences and on the other hand the effective dissemination of the results of each action.
