Our vision of education 4.0 is to “revolutionize” the traditional pedagogical approach and focus on the development of the skills of the 21^st century (complex thinking, creative problem solving and adaptability). In this digital and intelligent age, we propose to offer training focused on experiential pedagogy and the competency-based approach through R&D projects in a multidisciplinary and multi-sectoral environment (universities, companies, cities) and through various innovative educational activities such as serious play and design thinking. These new pedagogical activities aim to keep students in a maximum learning zone (especially with adaptive serious gaming). This model not only develops students' autonomy through experiential and reverse instruction, but also an awareness of the importance of developing their skills throughout their lives and aligning them with the requirements of industry 4.0 and the social environment.
