If <strong>educators<\/strong> have no hope, and therefore do not bring any into their work, all our work is useless &#8220;. From this intuition of <strong>Don Antonio Mazzi<\/strong> the association <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Educators Without Borders (ESF)<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Exodus<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0together with the <strong>Association pro Terra Sancta <\/strong>organized a week of training for <strong>13 teachers and educators<\/strong> from <strong>Bethlehem<\/strong> in <strong>Milan<\/strong>. The group of teachers was led by <strong>Fr. Marwan<\/strong>, head of the Casa del Fanciullo (Children&#8217;s home) and director of <strong>Terra Sancta College<\/strong> in Bethlehem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The teachers from Bethlehem expected a training made up of lectures &#8211; says <strong>Gabriella Ballarini<\/strong>, coordinator of <strong>ESF training<\/strong> &#8211; with methods and recipes to use in teaching once they were home. But this is not what education is about. We were not interested in presenting ourselves as &#8216;experts&#8217; who impose more or less adequate methodologies, but we wanted rather to start a<strong>&nbsp;journey together<\/strong>, as fellow travelers, towards <strong>self-knowledge<\/strong>&#8220;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially this approach has left the teachers of Bethlehem schools a bit perplexed, but then the &#8220;<strong>pedagogy of hope<\/strong>&#8221; turned out to be a very <strong>important discovery<\/strong> to carry out their work in a context such as that of the Palestinian town, where the <strong>constant tension<\/strong> and socio-political conditions cause <strong>depression<\/strong>, and <strong>very little confidence in future opportunities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The <strong>group activities<\/strong> &#8211; Gabriella states &#8211; aimed at showing the teachers how the <strong>work as educators<\/strong>, coincides with the <strong>knowledge of ourselves. <\/strong>Therefore we need to go ove all our alibis that oprevent us from hoping, in order to be able to teach. In their case, for example, the <strong>separation wall<\/strong> that closes up the city was a really strong alibi, but together we discovered that this wall can be overcome by working on itself and on the conception that one has of oneself &#8220;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To explain the origin of the initiative, we must start from the love of <strong>Don Mazzi<\/strong> for the Holy Places. &#8220;I have always wanted to do something in the <strong>Holy Land<\/strong>&#8221; says the Veronese priest, &#8220;because in our educational journey, in addition to the pedagogical intuition of Educators Without Borders and Exodus which is very particular, we want to go deeper and deeper into the knowledge of the <strong>Gospel<\/strong>, to discover the history of <strong>God with men<\/strong> &#8211; therefore not just the Gospel, but the whole <strong>Bible<\/strong> &#8211; in a <strong>physical way<\/strong>. This is why we want to go to the Holy Land &#8220;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first meeting between Educators Without Borders with Bethlehem teachers has already <strong>aroused a lot of curiosity in the Bethlehemites<\/strong> who can not wait to work together again following this &#8220;<strong>pedagogy of the journey and hope<\/strong>&#8221; to the discovery of education, a type of education that changes their heart and self-consciousness, that goes beyond the walls, the one that can really help in the process of building a small town that struggles to believe in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meeting with the Exodus foundation of Don Antonio Mazzi &#8220;As educators, we must first of all bring hope.
