Reading the book Culture in Education and Education in Culture.

Abstract
Reading the book Culture in Education and Education in Culture. Tensioned Dialogues and Creative Constructions, edited by Pernille Hviid and Mariann Märtsin, I had the feeling of being before one of the crucial, and still unsolved, critical issues in Education: that is the universalities and particularities of the educational enterprise worldwide. I myself have tried to address the point in the Manifesto for the Future of Education (Marsico, 2017), where I discussed the need, for the contemporary Cultural Psychology of Education, to be increasingly international and global, while promoting the cultural sensitiveness of the educational intervention. I claimed that, in any society, the application of the know-how in the area of education is local. This may appear quite controversial in the current panorama of rampant neoliberalism, with an increasing standardization and outcome-based focus.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
