This interview with Adam Jagiełło-Rusiłowski explores the crossing of boundaries in education through socially engaged art, systemic innovation, and social entrepreneurship. The starting point is his work with marginalised youth, described as breaking the "boundary of invisibility." Theatre is presented as a space for experiential learning and empowerment, which later evolves into broader interventions in prevention programmes, academic teaching, and curriculum design focused on critical and creative thinking. A key concept in the conversation is "unlearning," understood as a necessary process of dismantling inadequate cognitive, educational, and cultural patterns, particularly urgent in the context of artificial intelligence development and the crisis of epistemic authority. The interview also addresses the figure of the changemaker and the tension between social impact and the economic rationality of education. The discussion concludes with a critical reflection on the university as an institution that must rethink the relationship between power and knowledge and embrace a more dialogical and participatory academic community.
