Emilio Tenti Fanfani

On the 19th of June we were invited to participate in a talk given by the lecturer Emilio Tenti Fanfani. Apart from the fact that it is always very interesting to meet personally a writer from whom we have read material at the teacher training institute, I think that most of the people who attended the talk were pleasantly surprised with the lecture.
I was definitely impressed by the warmth, clarity and simplicity that this well-known sociologist addressed to the audience. He talked   of many problems that we face at school every day. One of the things that struck me the most was that currently schools are overloaded with too many demands that in fact tend to make impossible to cope with them. He also brought the issue of technology and the enormous amount of information present at internet and the necessity of developing the skills to be able to decode that information. At that point he mentioned the very important role of education to unveil and seize that knowledge.

I found lots of sites and articles on the web and, for those who were not able to assist to the lecture, may be this is a possibility to meet an extraordinary and inspiring author who is constantly defending the right of each citizen to a dignified and public education.
