Educational Programs
“Our Movement and our history, in fact,
can be seen as a great, extraordinary educational event.
All the factors of education are present in it
and the presence of a theory of education is also evident,
of a well-defined pedagogy
that underlies our educational actions”.

Networking among educators, in the diversity of roles, and collaborating on the same educational goals
