Lo que la escuela puede hacer todavía por la democracia

Why not try to make our classes the place of learning, persevering and at the same time joyful, of the freedom to think and the ability to build a common space?" In the face of inequalities and injustices, the rise of individualism and fundamentalisms, to the crises of all kinds that threaten our common future, can education still do something? How to rethink our School so that it can respond to such urgent questions? In this new essay, personal and as always committed, Philippe Meirieu tells its history of pedagogy. From the "Black Hussars" of the Republic to the "wild children", from Rousseau to Montessori, Freinet and many others, it delivers an exciting fresco that covers the meetings, work and commitments that contributed to forging its convictions.
