The first thing to introduce the interdisciplinary approach in education is breaking the stereotype that this refers only to bringing together a group of people with different interests or areas. It is to be able to solve a problem or carry out an activity from different points of view and backgrounds. This could be achieved with people who even belong to the same career or have had the same educational background since each one thinks differently. For this, different brainstorming methodologies could be used in which it is possible to think in a different and innovative way. In the end, when it has to converge, it is necessary that the final idea tries to have different areas of interest that do not necessarily represent the expertise of the members. Later in the implementation, the perspective of advisers, friends, acquaintances should be sought to express the opinion of how the activity is going. It is necessary to consider that it will not always be possible to include all ideas, but it is important to bear in mind interdisciplinarity in all phases. In this way, this technique could be implemented in the activities or projects carried out in education, while promoting the exploration of novel areas.
