Abstract

If Pedagogy of Inclusion may be contemplated as a pedagogy of the boarders, advocating the struggle for rights, dialogue and confrontation between differences, then, in Italy, Alberto Manzi may be considered as one the its most significant witnesses. What's the pedagogical heritage he left? May the theoretical and methodological elements, arising from his experiences as a teacher, be considered still relevant today? May they suggest educational paths usefull for challenges that Pedagogy of Inclusion faces? In this article, an attempt will be made to answer these questions, proposing a historical‐biographical and conceptual reconstruction of Alberto Manzi and dialoguing with his experience, rereading it from an inclusive perspective.
