Heraclitus was born gifted. He has a high level of intellect and tremendous memory, he is extremely imaginative and emotionally mature. His first year at school was a big disappointment. However Heraclitus doesn’t give up. He learns to fall and rise again. At the age of six, he has two weapons: his sense of humor and his adorable audacity.
A 26 minutes documentary by Elissavet Laloudaki and Massimo Pizzocaro.
“Gifted children”. At the mere hearing of these two words our mind starts jumping to conclusions. We tend to visualize them as little Einsteins who spend their days solving equations or as children prodigies in the manner of Mozart. The reality is far more nuanced and complicated.
A new addition to our Nomadoc project.
This 8 minutes mini documentary ,“School without schooling”, is about an alternative educational project that takes place in Modena, Italy, where a small group of families decided to take full responsibility for their children’s education, creating their self-managed school.
They explain us the reasons for that decision, they present the principles and guidelines and, finally, they share their concerns with us.
Italian language with English subtitles.
