From Pyramids to Pink Towers
In conversation with Maati Wafford and Jeff Menzise
Summary
This webinar explores African influences on Montessori philosophy and practice, with particular attention to the Spiritual Preparation of the Adult and the concept of the Cosmic Child.
Drawing on the traditions and knowledge of indigenous African communities, Maati Wafford and Jeff Menzise will join Barbara Isaacs in conversation, making connections between cultural heritage, Montessori thought and contemporary thinking and research about children.
With Montessori education practised across the world, this conversation invites us to consider the importance of family, culture and heritage in the lives of children, and how we as practitioners can recognise, respect and honour what each child brings into the classroom.
