Colonists brought a different view of nature, one that saw its resources as commodities to be bought and sold. Over the course of centuries, this conflict of ideologies would continue, one that persists today in courtroom debates surrounding Indigenous rights, on frontlines protesting pipeline projects, and in the hearts and minds of people advocating that "water is life".

È il primo banco e l'ultimo, è il banco di prova. È la scuola, che amiamo e vituperiamo a giorni alterni, sempre considerandola una sorta di mondo a parte, da celebrare in astratto o – troppo spesso – da riformare su basi ideologiche.

La logica dell'emergenza e il «culto del fenomeno», che stanno affossando il nostro Paese, rischiano di portare allo sfascio anche l'unica istituzione in grado di risollevarlo, ed è tempo di correre ai ripari. Come? Innanzitutto rimettendo al centro gli insegnanti: il ruolo che rivestono, la professionalità che esprimono.

In den Jahren 2020 und 2021, der Zeit der Covid-19-Pandemie, ereignete sich ein bemerkenswertes Schauspiel.
