El rápido desarrollo tecnológico que ha multiplicado las oportunidades y contextos para aprender suponen un fuerte desafío para las instituciones educativas que deben repensar su papel en la sociedad actual. Como señala la Agenda Digital Europea, aunque 250 millones de personas en Europa se sirven de internet a diario, todavía hay millones que nunca lo han utilizado, quedándose excluidas del uso y disfrute de contenidos y servicios y de una participación plena en la sociedad. Las desigualdades lastran el desarrollo de las sociedades y reducen las capacidades de innovación y mejora. Por ello, la educación actual ha de servir a sociedades inclusivas, innovadoras y reflexivas.
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir.

Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca.
