The first in-presence transnational partner meeting<\/strong> of REACT<\/a><\/strong> project has been realized from 5th<\/sup> to 7th<\/sup>, September 2022<\/strong> in Citt\u00e0 di Castello, Italy. The meeting has been attended by all representatives of REACT consortium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We very were happy to discuss the future development of the project outcomes and the next activities. Alongside the development of the TPM, on 6th<\/sup> September, an international Reciprocal Maieutic Workshop has been realized<\/strong>, focused on the theme of \u201cPeace”.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CSC Danilo Dolci<\/strong> presented the history of Danilo Dolci and his efforts in re-build the community in Sicily<\/strong> starting from the experience of Mirto school, the Jato dome built also thanks to the application of Reciprocal Maieutic Approach workshops with citizens. The active participation of Danilo Dolci was undelined to the strokes for rights of workers<\/strong>, as well as his commitment during the peace marches<\/strong> as well as the fasting <\/strong>he participated to, in order to sustain social changes and improvements in local community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop started with a circle-time self-presentation by each participant, telling few words also about inner dreams. Then, the coordinator led the exploration of the topic basing on the \u201cWhat is Peace?\u201d<\/strong> text written by Danilo Dolci. Participants explored the topics reflecting on their own and others\u2019 perceptions and ideas about peace, giving attention to the meaning of the words, quite often referring to the etymological meaning of the terms. The activity lasted 2 hours and has been a powerful tool to let partners enter the practicality of the REACT activities.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main features of the Montessori perspective<\/strong> about education that could be exploited during the development of the maieutic laboratories were explained such as \u201cthe attention given to the preparation of the environment\u201d. Another point of interest underlined and particularly linked to the methodology of the REACT workshop, is the idea of a \u201ccosmic\u201d education that has been theorized by Montessori in her late lifetime. \u201cCosmic\u201d education promotes the need to grow up a human being aware of his responsibility and able to consciously participate to the cosmic evolutionary process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the coming months all partners will be engaged with national teachers training and the implementation of workshops in schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
