When pedagogy makes the difference!
Our Philosophy
We consider that all significant learning happens within a congruent relationship (Rogers C.); that learning is a social activity (Schôn D.) that can be supported in local and online learning webs (Illich I.) and communities; that democratic processes are necessary for learners to be able to take full responsibility of their learning and apply their action to influence and transform their environment and society (Dewey).
We promote learner autonomy in a democratic and safe learning environment, in which trusting relationships are a core feature. We involve participants in processes of professional and personal development, through the design and implementation of their own projects and we link the learning activities to their everyday practices and work contexts.
We support the use of action research as a tool for participants’ development. We actively integrate new models of competences, to support the design of training sessions, and to support participants’ personal and professional development.
We focus on the whole person.
Our Methods
The teaching profession is one where dissonance is big: people express their ideals and values but do not feel empowered to practice them with their students.
A teacher who loves students, teaching, and oneself, makes the difference. Just recall your favorite teacher to reassure yourself about this. Teaching with your heart is the key.
I tried to teach discovery learning through a lecture. It was like trying to teach the piano by talking about it.
