The Montessori Pedagogy for the Evolution of the Human Being

In this paper I have tried to highlight how, from the outset, the Montessorian pedagogy is not so much an alternative way of teaching, as a scientifically elaborated instrument to re-establish the physiological balance of the person in order to develop inner human qualities and abilities from the very beginning of existence. We can regard her pedagogy as the foundation for a new humanism, aimed at the evolution of mankind. I was inspired by this pedagogy in the training work I conducted in Cameroon, Armenia, Bosnia and Rwanda, after discovering the Montessori method at the Tibetan Children’s Village in Dharamsala, the shelter for refugee minors in India, conceived and wanted by the Dalai Lama, Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.
