Description

The application of the Montessori method in the schools of the Working Class Ateneo Igualada in 1925 is a clear example of the connection between Igualada and the most advanced European pedagogical currents. This educational initiative, promoted from the working class, reflects the commitment to an inclusive, active and child-centered education. The document shows how, from the local level, they participated in the international pedagogical renewal, all the while promoting a comprehensive and emancipatory education. It is part of the themes of culture, education and the heartbeat of Catalan society, and reinforces the image of an open, progressive Catalonia committed to the European values ​​of social justice and equal opportunities.
