Sky Arte celebrates Maria Montessori with two documentaries

On August 31, 2020, Sky Arte aired a thematic evening honoring Maria Montessori on the 150th anniversary of her birth. The program included two documentaries: 'W Maria Montessori' directed by Malina De Carlo and Emanuela Audisio, which explores her life, feminist activism, and the global reach of her educational method practiced in about 60,000 schools worldwide, featuring testimonies from former students aged 8 weeks to 18 years. The second documentary, 'Il bambino è il maestro – Il metodo Montessori' directed by Alexandre Mourot, was filmed in the oldest Montessori school in France, observing children aged 3 to 6 years over a school year to demonstrate the method's positive outcomes. The event was part of Sky Arte's programming, powered by Artribune, which manages its content and digital interface.
