REACT – REciprocal maieutic Approach pathways enhancing Critical Thinking
Programme: Erasmus + – KA3: Support to Policy development and cooperation
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
REACT project intend to develop and implement an innovative methodology for the enhancement of critical thinking (CT) skills acquisition, aimed at fostering inclusive education and the common values of tolerance and acceptance of diversity.
The new methodology involves the key actors of the educating communities: teachers, students and parents. The approach starts from the application of a set of laboratories based on the Reciprocal Maieutic Approach (RMA) for discovering and discussing the process that leads to the creation of intolerance and spreading of stereotypes.
