Value based education for children and young people in Romania
VALUE-BASED EDUCATION
Continuous value-based learning allows young people to understand how to learn actively from parents, teachers, inspiring people, influencers, instructors, basically, from anyone who they interact with throughout their lives
The emphasis on character development, personality and spirit, as well as, on active civism, develops the language of values, introduces an ethical vocabulary, enhancing emotional intelligence, consolidating interpersonal relationships, inducing the notion of cohesion and social inclusion and fostering the creation of a healthy value based culture.
Value-based education endows young people, their teachers and their parents with greater personal responsibility for the educational act as a whole
Our educational philosophy is based on a holistic approach to education: we offer young people and their teachers experiences for unlearning of dysfunctional beliefs and behaviors and relearning concepts focused on identifying individual potential and on developing the ability to work collaboratively and multidisciplinary to transform Romania in a healthy values based society
