How is the implementation of online learning visualized, and the implementation of mental/practical activities in science learning in the post-pandemic? What epistemological and practical changes are required to improve science learning and teaching in the post-pandemic in region, taking into account previous experiences and during Covid 19? Have we learned the lessons that the pandemic leaves us and will we have the resources to face the new challenges that S&T demands from the post Covid?

Innovation, technology, the natural and complex, non-linear thinking will be at the base of the new reality. To continue doing the same without rethinking your attitudes and activities is to go straight to the precipice.

We are all in time to find new paths. You just have to find new personal and business routes. RECREATION…!
