Maria Montessori's method of education dates back more than a century, but seems particularly suited to the current era that always seeks the result and values competition.
To protect children from the pressure to learn to allow them to develop their autonomy, their curiosity and their spirit of cooperation... this was the ambition of Maria Montessori (1870-1952) who trusted the potential of each human being, and her innate desire to learn.
Matthieu Garrigou-Lagrange speaks with Martine Gilsoul, former director of a Montessori nursery in Rome, and with Charlotte Poussin, also "Montessori educator". Martine Gilsoul is the author of the book " Maria Montessori. A life in the service of the child », published by Desclée de Brouwer with the collaboration of Charlotte Poussin who published " Montessori method of education;" , published by Que sais-je? in 2017.
