Sažetak
Thinking about man through the concept of education, which most often means the development of personality, and which occurs through the development of cognitive, affective and psychomotor areas of that personality, through the formation of attitudes, opinions and beliefs of individuals, through the values as a set of general beliefs, opinions and attitudes of what is right, good or desirable, and which is accomplished in different ways, varies from person to person, place and time, it is subject to change and adopted throughout life. The positive experience of Gestalt therapy therapists, which encouraged the integration of Gestalt therapy knowledge into pedagogical areas, especially for educational purposes and personality development, is an important step towards a deeper understanding of pedagogy, towards the expansion of its borders and accepting the research of psychological and psychotherapeutic knowledge in pedagogy. This positive experience enables today the gestalt pedagogy, as one of the currents of humanistic pedagogy, a holistic approach to education. Holding on to Pope Francis ’first encyclical, a document important for understanding and approaching the burning environmental issues that emphasizes the complex relationships of poverty, environmental destruction, and care for future, based on biblically inspired spirituality of creation, we point to the ways humanity can respond effectively to these complex challenges, primarily through education, applying the principles of Gestalt pedagogy, which are based on the Christian message of salvation, and which refers to the person as a whole and includes his/her works in personal life and at the social level.
