In a world changing in an unprecedent pace, educational systems are faced with two major issues: how to provide quality education for all while reducing educational inequalities and what are the abilities to foster in students to allow them to be informed citizen able to tackle the big issues of our time. The Labschool PAREO and the DU PaRéO, aim to achieve such ambitious goals. The Labschool PAREO, first of its kind at the university level, allow to systematically experiment and evaluate the effect of pedagogical interventions in higher education based on an action approach. The DU PaRéO is the diploma hosted by the Labschool in which theses pedagogical innovations are implemented to support student’s academic and vocational adjustment during the college transition.
