"Games thus lead to a feeling of rivalry and animate a participant with a spirit of competition. And this, in comparison with aimless play, represents moral progress."
Maria Montessori

وبالتالي فإن الألعاب تؤدي إلى الشعور بالتنافس وتبث في المشارك روح" المسابقة. وهذا يمثل، بالمقارنة مع اللعب بلا هدف، تقدما أخلاقيا."
ماريا منتسوري

Regrettably, sports can often be neglected in Montessori settings, possibly in response to the excessive emphasis on winning in conventional sports, or a misunderstanding of Montessori's views on competition.

On the contrary, Maria Montessori regarded sports and competition as opportunities for purposeful movement, enhancing skills, and developing a child’s moral compass.

AMI President's Message 2024 Sitting in the study at Montessori’s house on Koninginneweg, all is calm and serene, as I set course for this New Year’s message.On the desk lie Maria Montessori’s 1929 London course notes, meticulously documented by her student, Ruby Woodf

“Those whose interest is in spiritual values, who seek after the highest in the human being, will recognise in our schools a work of love.
Love, looking beneath external appearances, understands many needs in the child, with transient appearances, which are commanding and fundamental. These needs may be obscure and difficult to express; yet, on them, life depends.
Love leads us to make a refuge for the divine side of child-nature, disregarded, misunderstood, and to open up the way for his spiritual development.”

Maria Montessori, From the Call of Education, 1924, issue 1
As quoted by Lynne Lawrence, AMI Executive Director
during the annual AMI Talk on 6 January 2024

"سوف يرى أولئك الذين يهتمون بالقيم الروحية والذين يسعون إلى تحقيق أعلى المستويات في الإنسان أن مدارسنا قائمةٌ على عمل حب.
فالحب يبصر ما وراء المظاهر الخارجية، ويفهم أن لدى الطفل احتياجات كثيرة تتخذ مظاهر عدة عابرة واساسية. قد تكون هذه الاحتياجات غامضة ويصعب التعبير عنها، لكن الحياة تعتمد عليها بالرغم من كل شيء.
فالحب يقودنا إلى أن نبني ملجأً للجانب الإلهي من طبيعة الطفل المهمَل والذي يُساء فهمه، ونفتح له الطريق لتطوره الروحي."

THE CHILD, THE TEACHER OF PEACE
If we wish to discover a pure being, a being who has neither philosophical ideas nor a political ideology and is equally removed from both, we will find this neutral being in the child. And if we think that men are different because they speak different languages, we will recognize in the child a being who speaks no language and who is ready to learn to speak any language at all. This child must therefore be our central focus when we seek ways to peace. Why do we not call upon children? Why do not triumphant bands of children appear at meetings where the problem of peace is being discussed? If processions of children appeared among us – companies of those human beings who represent the living possibility of peace – we would have to welcome them reverently and bow down before them in admiration. The child would appear among us as the teacher of peace. We must gather around him to learn the mystery of humanity, to discover in him the mystery of a fundamental goodness that our outer lives and acts belie. That is the source of the knowledge that interests us most of all. If we truly yearn for brotherhood and understanding among men, there must also be brotherhood and understanding between the adult and the child!

🌟 Exciting News! Following AMI’s recent strategic planning to expand Montessori in India, we are thrilled to announce a new AMI Training Centre located in Kodaikanal, India. One of the ways AMI connects Montessori to the world is through courses, delivered in more than 40 countries, offering authentic pedagogical quality, grounded in Maria Montessori’s vision. The Kodaikanal AMI Centre for Montessori Studies is a living tribute to her legacy. Amidst Kodaikanal's landscapes, Maria Montessori conceptualised her unparalleled Cosmic Curriculum. The Centre is dedicated to upholding and developing exceptional quality training while being accessible to all. It also intends to focus on outreach, aiming to spread Montessori to all and make a social impact in local communities through the work of AMI’s Educateurs sans Frontières (EsF) activity.

We are excited to announce the launch of Educateurs sans Frontières (EsF)'s brand-new website, where you can find inspiring stories highlighting amazing Montessori initiatives all around the world! Explore the new EsF website here: https://montessori-esf.org/.

EsF is a division of AMI established in 1999 by Renilde Montessori, the granddaughter of Maria Montessori, to strengthen the social mission of serving under-resourced communities and promoting children’s rights throughout society. In practice, EsF is a global network that connects and encompasses individuals from diverse backgrounds, nations, and fields of expertise who share the common purpose of supporting human development by applying Montessori principles in different contexts that transcend the boundaries of traditional classrooms.

Learn from a range of inspiring projects and stories that demonstrate how Montessori principles and practices are applied and adapted to specific contexts and needs.

Foto: 5 de mayo de 1950: Montessori en la 5ª sesión de la Conferencia General de la UNESCO, en Florencia, Italia.
"Si un día la UNESCO decidiera involucrar a los niños en la reconstrucción del mundo y en la construcción de la paz, si decidiera convocarlos, discutir con ellos y reconocer el valor de todas las revelaciones que tienen para nosotros, los encontraría de gran valor. Una ayuda inmensa para infundir nueva vida a esta sociedad que debe basarse en la cooperación de todos"

Posteriormente, en diciembre de 1951 (cuatro meses antes de su muerte), la Dra. Montessori fue invitada por la UNESCO a enviar un mensaje con motivo del tercer aniversario de la Declaración Universal de Derechos Humanos. Así es como Montessori llegó a escribir 'El ciudadano olvidado' donde llama a la urgente necesidad de reorientarnos espiritualmente en medio de una creciente economía competitiva capitalista y consumista. Hoy más que nunca dar el derecho a hablar al ciudadano olvidado podría ser la mejor opción que tenemos para infundir nueva vida a esta sociedad.

📚🌱 We're thrilled to share a collaborative effort published recently in August - a meta-analysis of 32 studies comparing Montessori education to traditional methods. The conclusion? "Montessori education has a nontrivial impact on children's academic and non-academic outcomes."

This review dives deep into the effectiveness of Montessori education in enhancing both academic and non-academic outcomes. Factors like grade level, type of Montessori environment, random assignment, and more were examined to understand the full scope of Montessori's impact.

This is a valuable addition to the growing body of research that demonstrates how Montessori education can positively impact the lives of children! 📖✨

DURING EARLY FORMATION..small children can do a greater quantity of work with greater perfection than older ones. And the younger children derive great happiness from it. This fact was not known before – that at a certain age, when the mind is in the period of formation, it does not develop slowly and haphazardly, it develops rapidly and brilliantly because it has a special sensibility. It is not only the fact that in early life man has a special sensibility and the possibility of real practical achievement, but the mind itself is different. This has been shown thousands of times. For instance, the small child gives profound attention to external phenomena, e.g. he can observe a plant with intense interest, whereas an older child does not. Another example is in memory: a boy of fourteen learns geographical names with great difficulty and becomes depressed because he finds it so difficult. The little child learns them easily and without effort.

Back by popular demand, AMI 3-6 trainer Cheryl Ferreira will be offering a 3-6 Orientation Course online through Montessori for Lebanon from 30 October until 8 December 2023.
