Methamorphosis Organization collaborates with the Montessori Peace Association. Maria Montessori, an Italian medical doctor and pioneer educator lived from 1870 to 1952, working principally in Italy, Spain, India, and the Netherlands during periods of war and political upheaval. Although displaced several times as a refugee, she continued studying children, establishing schools, giving lectures, and training teachers across three continents. Her philosophy focused on sensitive periods, the absorbent mind, and planes of development. She viewed the goal of education as developing complete human beings adapted to their environment, time, and culture.

3. Montessori, a medical doctor and pioneer
educator, was born in Italy in 1870 and
died in 1952.
She lived principally in Italy, Spain, India
and the Netherlands through a turbulent
period of World Wars and revolutions.

4. Although uprooted many times in
her life and several times a
refugee, she continued to study
children, stablished schools, give
lectures and train teachers on three
continents

11. And we, must know the
reason of this phenomenon,
thus, we need a continuous
reading about Montessori's
Philosophy

12. and her concepts of:
•Sensitive Periods
•Absorbent Mind
•Planes of Development

14. Maria Montessori concentrated upon the goal of
education, rather than its methods.
She defined this goal as “the development of
a complete human being, oriented to the
environment, and adapted to his or her time,
place and culture”

15. This adaptation involves the
capacity to meet new situations
and to have the intelligence and
courage to transform them when
change is needed

16. Today we might define this goal as
the preparation of children to live
successfully in their world, by which
we mean the future, rather than to
live primarily in ours, which is the
present and the past
