INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS DAY

"Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home - so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm, or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman, and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world."

Eleanor Roosevelt

WE ARE BACK...

Welcome students!!!
I hope you face this new school year with a great motivation.
"Ethical and Civic Education" is a new subject for you.  It will give you the chance to get to know yourself better, to realize about the human mechanisms to make decisions, to be aware of the moral values we can choose in order to live better, as individuals and as a society,...  and much more!!
We will have the chance to THINK, at least during two classes, about all this.
I hope you enjoy it!

FAREWELL...

It has been a pleasure...  Yes, it was really nice to teach you.  Have  you all a wonderful summer!!  And, of course, BE HAPPY!
