Recently, our team at EMPIRICA engaged in a deep discussion following an article we read in Internazionale. It was a piece by Master Franco Lorenzoni, a leading voice in the educational landscape, who raised essential questions and concerns about the future of education in Italy. His words immediately and profoundly resonated with all of us, highlighting the crucial challenges in our country’s educational landscape. Reading his insights, we felt the echo of a true educator, driven by a contagious passion for a humanistic vision of schooling, where the centrality and development of students as individuals and as citizens are paramount. It inspired us to reflect once more on the crucial role of education for our collective future and to renew our commitment and determination for the values of an open, inclusive, and forward-looking school.

Here is Master Lorenzoni’s contribution: The government’s attack against an open and inclusive school.
