ABSTRACT: The European Union proposed a new model of economy, at this beginning
of century and millennium: the economy of knowledge, simultaneous with the emergence
of a new existential reality for us people, after Christ was born; this new, existential
reality are the climatic changes.
In spite of the warning signals drawn by specialists, the more profound “conquests” of
science, only a new educational model can save the humankind of a galloping fall in
promiscuity but also in eternity.

Key words: economy of knowledge, educational model, cohesion policy, changes
