The acceleration of change, the complexity of a distinct society and the crisis of reason as the foundation of modern structures of living have generated a crisis in most people and institutions. In this context hopelessness is perceived, but also opportunities for education that may consider alternatives for discussion to expand the possibilities of human transformation. We propose seven criteria for contextually reposition the social environment of the school and discuss the enlightenment ideals in the new sociocultural scenario.
