This Friday, in the Magna Hall of the Faculty of Administration Sciences of the Universidad de Entre Ríos (UNER), the discussion panel “Schools that are worth it: innovation, leadership, and humanization of education” was held, featuring the renowned Spanish pedagogue Pepe Menéndez along with Lic. Ilda Martina Domínguez, an expert in inclusive education and teacher training.
The activity was organized by the Undersecretariat of Education and Culture of the Municipality of Concordia, with the collaboration of the “Julio Serebrinsky” Library of the Electric Cooperative, IAPSER Seguros, and the Faculty of Administration Sciences of the UNER.
Mayor Francisco Azcué participated in the opening, where he stressed the importance of working jointly with institutions “that, as in this case, allow for the arrival in Concordia of two professionals of outstanding stature to strengthen the pedagogical knowledge of our city's teachers.”
The Undersecretary of Education and Culture, Carlos Gatto, said that “for us, it is important to have these visits that we have today, who will be sharing their experience and chatting with people about different topics of management, inclusion, and other aspects that are very present day-to-day in our school classrooms.”
SHARE AND LEARN
For his part, international pedagogue Pepe Menéndez emphasized the moment “to see different sectors act, agreeing that education is important for society since it makes the personal growth of each individual valued. My idea for this visit is to learn; I not only try to contribute something like experience and knowledge, but also the desire to learn from the places I visit.”
To this, the Director of Special Education of the Ministry of Education of CABA, Ilda Martina Domínguez, remarked that “the idea is always to share knowledge, questions, and take away new inquiries because that is the goal: to mobilize so that new ideas appear, to see how to position oneself to find answers to also accept that enormous diversity that exists.”
The president of the Cooperativa Eléctrica Concordia, Marcelo Spinelli, underscored that “for us, these instances have a cooperative spirit; they are part of the articulation and the permanent challenge that is education. There is no future without education. Children are the present, and we must put all the dedication we can into it.”
Finally, the Secretary of University Extension of the Faculty of Administration Sciences, Pamela Velich, celebrated “the joint work between all actors to make this talk possible. I highlight the joint actions and the commitment, especially to inclusion, to quality education, and to this work that is necessary for educational innovation.”
