Marco Balzano, Christian Raimo
School is an idea of the world
Any time a teacher walks into a classroom he or she is aware that what will go on during their lesson may affect a small portion of their students’ lives. That’s why there’s little sense is reducing the conversation around education to a debate on a particular law or to considerations on new technologies and teaching methods. School is a living organism, made of relationships that are formed along a common path of knowledge: if we want to improve the school system, we must join new generations in imagining a more open and supportive society, and consider the space of a classroom as a permanent political workshop, in which to educate young people towards critical thought and confrontation. Christian Raimo and Marco Balzano are two writers and educators who believe that literature, history and philosophy are still the seat where knowledge of the world may give way to someplace new.
