Summary/Abstract: The quantum revolution brought about a change in the vision of the world. The complexity, the rapid rhythm of the changes and the seemingly fragmentary reality, characteristic of the times we live in, lead to a tendency of atomization, insularization and dispersion, but at the same time opens as an antidote, the path to transdisciplinarity. Along with science, literature, arts, theatre, dance are all recognized as forms of knowledge. New disciplines arise and discrete connections are established between them in a necessary unification process. It consists of accepting more levels of reality and perception, which exist and manifest simultaneously. The paper aims at demonstrating that a transdisciplinary attitude in education, and more specifically in the teaching approach, is not only an adaptation to the spirit of time, but it provides the right context for the development of cross-curricular competences, creativity, experimentation of knowledge, both with the help of reason , as well as of the physical body and affectivity. Briefly, it means accepting the multidimensional reality, different from one person to another, but having an inner core of common essence. Here individual thoughts and experiences meet, find themselves, overlap. Moreover, it resonates with the universal thoughts and experiences common to all people. It is an integrative didactic approach, through which learning becomes an experience of knowledge.
