Also included in this issue is the gala dinner address by Mr. André Roberfroid, Executive Director for Programme and Strategic Planning of UNICEF, on the evening of July 4. In his speech he highlighted UNICEF’s main missions, stressing the link between these and education. He was inspired by the Montessori approach to children and their rights.
Some of the points he stressed were:
• Put Children First: that is in every decision we make (individually, family, community, government, companies, etc.) think about the implications for the child and consider that the best interest of the child is to be the guiding and decisive condition.
• Listen to Children: you propagate it and I understand that it is the base of your philosophy. We must make it the philosophy for everybody. It must not be the privilege of Montessori, it must be everybody’s view.
• Educate Every Child.
