AMI Talks – Women's Rights

Montessori education is about the liberation of the human being: to be given ownership, independence and respect — and to have the best possible environment to enable optimal development. So 8 March 2021, a day that pays tribute to equality on International Women's Day, and Montessori go hand in hand.
 

AMI was delighted to have two speakers shed light on essential aspects of equality.
