But what is this "European heritage"? In recent years, especially the word "Europe" is sometimes overused, often becomes banal, boring slogan. However, it is hidden in the real wealth of content - including the provision of childcare. The purpose of the M.A.-seminar is to examine and analyze of the European educational traditions in historical perspective, to realize the extent to which our thinking about education is rooted in tradition, and that is innovative, original and genuinely new. How and why change the image of the child, childhood and upbringing? Is it possible to notice any patterns? Is it true that you think about your own happiness adult has a direct impact on the next generation of educational practice? These and other questions will try to find your own and critical response to our meetings and open discussions.
