The Polo Europeo della Conoscenza is launching a research group on the origins of educational and humanistic awareness with and for children. The group's objectives are: to offer opportunities for vertical and horizontal exchange on the neuropsychopedagogical dynamics that lead children to develop an educational and humanistic awareness; to offer support from experts in the field to teachers seeking improvement. Coordinators: Patrizia Granata, Marco Inglesiss, Olivier Tuquet, and Laura Andreotti.
