Details about Expertise / Competences / Technologies he “Hallgarten-Franchetti Centro Studi Villa Montesca” foundation, also called “Fondazione Villa Montesca” and
“Fondazione Centro Studi Villa Montesca” carries on the tradition of the Centro Studi e Formazione Villa Montesca
founded in 2001 at Villa Montesca where in 1909 Maria Montessori organized a seminar that gave birth to the first
publication of the scientific pedagogic method universally known as the ‘Montessori Method’.
Continuing the tradition of Alice Hallgarten and Leopoldo Franchetti in the fields of innovative teaching methods and
social work the Foundation aims at developing and enhancing the activities of Villa Montesca, also by promoting the
cultural heritage and scientific legacy of Baron and Baroness Franchetti particularly in science education and other
cultural experiences carried out in Europe, given the importance of the legacy of the rural schools of Montesca and
Rovigliano.
The Foundation is nowadays internationally renowned for top quality research and training in teacher training,
information technology and communication, education for European integration and regional cooperation in the field
of education and culture at local, regional and European level.
The Foundation has a vast experience in managing interdisciplinary project teams composed of researchers from
universities and other educational organisations. It has an important role at regional, national and European level in
the development and promotion of lifelong learning as a tool for improving and strengthening social and work
opportunities following the main recommendations of the EU Commission “It is never too late to learn” and “It is
always a good time to learn“. The aim of our activities is to help establish an efficient educational system which can
help to overcome the barriers to education/training, speed up the recognition of learning outcomes achieved in
formal, informal and non-formal approaches in order to encourage active participation in the learning process also by
those people who, owing to marginalization, may be excluded from it. |
