La pedagogia della nonviolenza di Aldo Capitini

Abstract

The article focuses on Aldo Capitini’s nonviolence pedagogical theory, highlighting that such a proposal does not involve the mere absence of violence; instead, it implies a form of struggle, a way and a commitment of transforming reality: a nonviolence from which it must necessarily rise a path of “liberation” from exclusion, marginality and violence.
In this perspective, peace can’t be built up only by refusing of co-operating in war, but also day by day through education.
As a result, dealing with the thought of Aldo Capitini – and with educative experiences he promoted – allows to find an idea that education is, above all, an activity of acquiring knowledge as “skill of changing”.
