The Power of The Soul… in Human Education
Human education is not filling the head with data. It is about
bringing to light our deep aspirations and enable us to live
accordingly, through the development of strengths-qualities forming
a moral character. Key to a sustainable future, human education
cultivates the most precious renewable resource of our world: the
human being. An encounter with Socrates, for solutions to today’s
challenges.
