RicercAzione

At the close of every school year, and again at each new beginning, it is worthwhile to pause and reflect.
As we look at our children and students, as both adults and educators, we inevitably find ourselves returning to those questions that have no definitive answers.
Education requires an openness to a vision of the future — but how can we imagine it?
How can we help each person become the best version of themselves in this moment?
What kind of school is needed to build a future that allows everyone’s hopes to be fulfilled?
These are questions we cannot avoid answering, because they guide our daily actions. Yet, at the same time, such answers are open, as they continually evolve in dialogue with the reality we are living in — a complex reality, in a challenging time.
