Embracing Uncertainty: Leveraging Failure in Education with Mihaela Tabacaru

This week’s guest is Mihaela Tabacaru. Our conversation is about organized chaos in education. About how to stay messy and be comfortable with that messiness, and not knowing the power of facilitating the in-between spaces of connection, acknowledgment, safety, and personal growth. We touch upon the relevance of humans in times of AI. Furthermore, we will discuss the value of failure and the safe space the education process can provide to create opportunities to fail safely.

Mihaela Tabacaru is born and raised in Romania and graduated as an organizational psychologist. She moved to Norway and together with a partner, she started “Newschool”, a company that empowers kids in schools to take more ownership of their assignments. Now she's off to new adventures connecting systems thinking and business development in various domains. Through learning design and facilitation, of course.
