Sonia, from teacher to an instructor for teaching Montessori method.

From the US to China: she travels around the world to introduce people into a method which is not so practised and known in the big cities.

From Washington to Udine, from the boundless China to the tiny Mantua: Sonia travels to tell that children in the first stage of their life need to learn on their own and to use their hands, which are considered the first way of knowledge in the world.

The Montessori method instructors’ mission has been helping them in this complex and extraordinary stage, which is aimed to give them rules as well as liberty.

This mission joined the world for the first time in 1907, and it’s been continuing up to 2017.

Sonia Cagnata, a Mantuan, is one of them.

After working many years out in the field, now she is working as an instructor for Opera Nazionale Montessori.

The human being’s singularity as well as his way to grow up and develop creativity lay the foundation starting within six years of age.

Parents and academics wonder how to give them the best.

They choose the workshops run by the Montessori instructors to find the answers.

Some people consider this method cold and barren, because they focus on the importance of studying materials and not on human relationship, which is the artsiest part.

The instructor plays a fundamental role because she shows and prepares the apt space for the children who will be free to be themselves.

This does not occur in a normal traditional school, in which the scheduling is decided by a big cheese.

In big cities, this method has carved a niche into the educational field.

It is suitable for everybody and in environments with social difficulties it has had a great success.
