Montessori Centenary Celebrations Unite Children around the Globe
Children and communities worldwide from Brisbane to Bangkok to Brussels to Brooklyn to Buenos Aires are busy planning celebratory events to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Dr Maria Montessori opening the first Montessori class for children in Rome, Italy.
100 years ago in San Lorenzo, Rome on the 6th of January 1907 Maria Montessori began working with a group of disadvantaged children helping them to learn and develop. What transpired was the first Casa dei Bambini (Childrens House) that grew into the worldwide Montessori educational movement for children.
To mark this occasion a major Centenary Conference is being held at the Auditorium Parco della Musica, Rome bringing together dignitaries from Association Montessori Internationale, Opera Nazionale Montessori, eminent professors, academics and distinguished speakers.
This event and other worldwide Centenary efforts throughout 2007 will Champion the Cause of all Children and work to promote the interests of children by bringing to the attention of all cultures and societies the nature of childrens development what Dr Montessori called the secret of childhood.
Through her work Dr Montessoris realisation was that: "...mankind can hope for a solution to its problems, among which the most urgent are those of peace and unity, only by turning its attention and energies to the discovery of the child and to the development of the great potentialities of the human personality in the course of its formation.
(OPTIONAL) XYZ Montessori (insert region/school) children are currently planning their contribution to the celebrations by organising a (insert activity eg. fun run and a school fete). Although only in the early stages of planning, principal of XYZ school, ______ says, The children are really looking forward to the Montessori Centenary celebrations and the chance to showcase their school and share their excitement with the rest of the community.
The aim of Montessori and the Centenary celebration is to place all the children in our world at the centre of society and to assist them in becoming caring, self-motivated and fulfilled individuals, able to create a harmonious and peaceful future for humanity.
Montessori is the single largest pedagogy in the world with over 22,000 schools in more than 110 countries. The Montessori movement however is far broader and works to assist children and their families in a variety of settings.
Montessorians serve as advocates for all children championing the rights of the child in society.
