One hundred years after the presentation of the LIEN Charter (1921), the “Principles of Accession” for the development of an international alliance of educators, teachers, girls, boys and parents remain fully topical. Starting from a reflection on these principles, the Conference intends to promote a reflection on the contribution of didactic and educational research to the growth of a generation of citizens of the world.

The goal is to develop proposals for educational practices necessary to create an open school, capable of orienting, enhancing and developing the potential of the younger generations.

The conference is aimed primarily at pedagogical researchers and will be open to the participation of teachers and educators and their associations.

The conference will be divided into working groups in which contributions relating to the following thematic sections will be presented and discussed:

Section 1 – The contribution of educational research to a new agreement of accession starting from the discussion of the principles of the Congress of Calais, of the Congress of Nice and the proposal of Manifesto that the partner associations and federations intend to produce to affirm common values, ambitions, concrete utopias , the founding references of the New Education.

Section 2 – The 30 points of Ferrière (1925) which more explicitly represent the themes that have crossed the discussions and orientations of the active schools. Six thematic working groups will be formed on the basis of the broad areas that characterize the Ferrière document:

  • organization,
  • physical life,
  • intellectual life
  • organization of studies,
  • social education,
  • artistic and moral education.
