Teaching students to live together harmoniously is one of the greatest challenges of contemporary education. Today’s world demands that we revisit the essential themes that shape human nature.

The theoretical framework includes a brief historical overview of philosophy and pedagogy, as well as contemporary contributions from social psychology. Issues that cause pain—such as depression, stress, and anxiety—in children and adolescents demonstrate just how urgent the topic of social interaction has become.
