Educating in Freedom
by Valentina Galasso & Valeria Giacomoni

The past 24 to 25 April was held in Verona the 2nd Meeting of the National Network of Libertarian Education. Here's an account of two participants.

 

San Michele Extra (Verona) – Villa Buri

We immediately felt a relaxed attitude and above all curious by the participants. It was quickly realized that there were great sages from which we should learn to get out of our ignorance, but we'd rather face a kind of "leader", a reference that would have shared with us their experience.

Presentazione della giornata e dei lavori di gruppo

We were expecting more people linked to the anarchist movement, or somewhat more politicized, but the big surprise was discovering that the interest started to arrive from education to politics and not vice versa. It is often not very constructive approach to political ideas and only later discover what is inside the approach to a subject as important as education. Setting the day and then the National Network of Libertarian Education (http://www.educazionelibertaria.org ) instead it seemed like the best: not combine under a single banner, but to awaken the curiosity to discuss the principles and aims of education in this way, involving experts, and not only frustrated by the results of education institutions.

Integral growth of the individual
The presentation of the day took place in a room full of people (some remained outside) and started trying to figure out where we were. Giulio Kiskanu School which is located in Villa Buri, welcomed us explain briefly how this project that collects and provides the experiences of a group of professional teachers and parents from 12 years working on a new kind of approach to ' Education indication of Ethics and Libertarian. The result was a cutting-edge educational experience that human experience based on a renewed relationship and true and living among people, nature and society (http://www.kiskanu.org )

Lavoro di gruppo sull’educatore libertario

The libertarian education means education in a broad sense, an integral growth of the individual, in contrast to the purely rational and planned knowledge (that our system has decided to give) that leaves no room for curiosity and personal initiative, offers an education that indirectly inspired (and leaves room) from the things that happen in life, and that requires continuous growth and 360 º for both the student as the teacher.

From the greeting through the early childhood educator's role in the libertarian-depth educational experiences in the course: first by focusing on the draft of the Collective Kiskanu, then on the other democratic schools located throughout the world ( http://www.idenetwork.org ).
