Part of AMI
Educateurs sans Frontières is part of Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) and was founded in 1999 by Maria Montessori’s granddaughter, Renilde Montessori.
The Fundamental Idea
The fundamental idea underlying Educateurs sans Frontières (EsF) is to see how the vision of Maria Montessori could be extended and how Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) could create a call to action.
Core Mission
If we want our societies to become places in which all are respected and can develop according to the laws of human nature, then we need to enable the true development of children as the builders of a new society, and empowered changemakers.
