This book is about questions. The fundamental process through which it was created is an extended and in-depth dialogue. That dialogue took place over a two-year period involving researchers, lifelong learners, educators, and thinkers. The publication of the dialogue in the form of this unique book addresses the authors' peer community: the learners, teachers, researchers and policymakers who will take the dialogue forward and contribute to its further growth.
