Pestalozzi

I feel honored to be representing my country - Portugal - in the Pestalozzi program on media literacy with other representatives of the EU member States. Pestalozzi is probably best known in the US thanks to his influence in the 'Oswego movement', which helped shape the American normal school system.

My Pestalozzi group is focused on social media and human rights. The group has of course applied what we 'preach' :) and maintained the conversation during the period between on-site meetings (Austria in 2008, and France in 2009) through the use of several social platforms. My post with a reference to the Horizon Report 2008 was received with enthusiasm by the community. Participants were unaware of the report but extremely interested in it. Needless to say that the 2009 report was received with the same level of enthusiasm.
