\abstract{This paper discusses the introduction of new programming methodologies
to computer science and practice.
New metaphorical programming models are currently emerging, transferred from
various scientific disciplines. The common ground to these new models is
the concept of interacting active entities.
These entities are called objects and they execute and interact concurrently.
This new leading programming methodology is consequently called
object-oriented concurrent programming (OOCP at short).
We introduce quickly the concepts of OOCP methodology.
We then focus on the issue of teaching it.
We describe a platform which we designed in order to help
describing and experimenting with OOCP.
We discuss the experience of using this platform for pedagogical purposes.
