Pedagogia del rispetto tra adulti

This chapter investigates the possibility and conditions for educating adults to respect, challenging the widespread idea that education is limited to childhood. The author critiques the reduction of education to mere learning, emphasizing instead the relational and situated nature of education, rooted in real and meaningful contexts. Respect is presented as an active, empathic stance—beyond mere tolerance or submissiveness—anchored in the ability to see and recognize others. Drawing on concepts such as situated learning, peer tutoring, and the CHAT framework, the chapter provides both theoretical insight and operational tools to foster respectful behavior within organizations. Ultimately, it promotes a cultural shift toward respectful, inclusive workplaces where learning and education are integrated into daily practices.
