AMI Talks: An Invitation to Celebrate and Reflect

In celebration of the birthday of Maria Montessori on 31 August, we convened a special AMI online talk that explored the evolution of Maria Montessori’s thoughts on human development. Our historical archive is a wonderful instrument to mine and extend knowledge and feed the future. This is more than a collection of documents—it is a living repository of thought, experience, and evolution. Our 31 August talk reflected on the significance of preserving these materials—as a foundation for future exploration. On Maria Montessori’s birthday we celebrated the journey, and opened the doors for those who wished to engage, research, and contribute to the legacy. We heard the stories of two young PhD students, Irene Pozzi and Emma Perrone, who, facilitated by AMI’s legacy team, came to do extensive research into the archives.
