Abstract

How do we teach students to recognize their own value in creating benefits for the common good, not only for individual interests, and how do we enable them to perceive common and individual goals being the same? The divergence of goals can cause dispersion of attention and fruitless wandering, but it may also enable personal growth through intrinsic incentives. The paper shows how teaching practices enable the development of capabilities for the autonomous development of children of primary school age and how art and creative workshop practices enable and encourage the emergence of capabilities for more self-understanding and development of empathy for the needs of others. The paper discusses the meaning of a role model as a preferred matrix and the responsibilities of teachers as role models in the process of creation and learning how to recognize exit strategies and solutions. The paper indicates that school cannot teach wisdom, but that students can be prepared for wisdom.
