I first looked at the ideas of Francesco Tonucci when I was a student at the university in the mid-90s Then, as part of my work in in-service teacher training, I discovered that my appointment was not only pedagogical but also political. The backbone that Tonucci proposes to us is to think about the spaces we inhabit so that everyone can live safely, especially those who may be more vulnerable. Therefore, building democratic educational spaces where children have a voice and participate in decisions is one of the tasks we can carry out to create these spaces. But there are several other initiatives to which all citizens can contribute!
