We must develop, starting from school, the complex art of peaceful cohabitation. If rights are not universal, they are called privileges.
There is no discovery that does not entail the crossing of new boundaries. Our challenge is to reveal and try to demonstrate how the presence of a variety of different origins, languages and symbolic universes in classrooms provides a great opportunity for educational innovation. Our increasingly inhomogeneous classes represent a laboratory for the future. We feel the need for a boundaryless education, an education that is capable of keeping the acquisition of languages and knowledge firmly together with knowledge of ourselves, understanding others and their values and including everyone.
These is a short passage from the SaltaMuri Pedagogic Manifesto, presented last week at the Chamber of Deputies.
The Manifesto is the result of one year of joint work by about 50 organisations, including the Fondazione Mondo Digitale, that worked on the SaltaMuri Table and launched the “One Thousand Open Schools for an Open Society” Campaign.
