Emancipation

In accordance with the pedagogical project of the school, the team invests heavily in emancipatory education: this is the process to reach an ideal situation in which individuals or groups are able to make autonomous judgments about the sense of their actions and to give a sense to their lives. In this process, emotional development, a strong drive for exploration and a committed disposition towards the society are important points of departure. 

The school is not aimed at an elite audience but works with the local environment (a poor working class neighborhood). It seeks to provide opportunities to disadvantaged groups (children with disabilities , lower social class, girls ...). Children themselves are learning to be stronger and to stand up for others. It is exactly this work on quality education, focusing on an emancipatory approach that makes the project so powerful.
