She discussed various examples from two large European projects with Brazilian universities who were collaborators. These projects were underpinned by the Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) approach whose aim is to align scientific development with societal needs by engaging all representatives in all phases of research and innovation.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Alexandra is exploring fun and engagement in education. She is passionate about \u201cengaging approaches\u201d to connect formal and informal learning effectively. She explores the role of \u201cfun\u201d for a contemporary education that is enjoyable to empower teachers and students with scientific knowledge, skills and attitude that they need to succeed by facing the pace of science and technology including local and global challenges. This includes mixed-realities, knowledge mapping and open science.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 1px solid #CCC; border-width: 1px; margin-bottom: 5px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"\/\/www.slideshare.net\/slideshow\/embed_code\/key\/8SAz7PtUKeheM8\" width=\"595\" height=\"485\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"> <\/iframe><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"><strong> <a href=\"\/\/www.slideshare.net\/alexandraokada\/educere-okada-2019-176909433\"title=\"Educere okada 2019\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" onclick=\"javascript:urchinTracker ('\/outbound\/article\/www.slideshare.net');\">Educere okada 2019<\/a> <\/strong> from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/alexandraokada\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" onclick=\"javascript:urchinTracker ('\/outbound\/article\/www.slideshare.net');\">Alexandra Okada<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>Alexandra invited teachers to reflect about the meaning of \u201caction\u201d in\u00a0 educ\u201daction\u201d .
