- Curriculum (Parque de las Ciencias)
In 1987, at the Ceuta Summer School, a deep friendship was born based on everything we shared, on a sort of "pedagogical optimism" very typical of that time, on trust in education as a tool for transforming society. We never stop collaborating, first at “Huerto Alegre”, and then with “Parque de las Ciencias”. Francesco Tonucci is the person we learned the most from, because he himself always wants to learn, and this is contagious. He is a unique social scientist, a rule-breaker, an educational activist, and an original artist. A creator in the deepest sense of the term, capable of making us smile with his "drawn reflections", some of which are devastating. It is a great catalyst of ideas. His secret, FRATO's secret, is that he takes education and childhood seriously.
