A global educational  re-evolution
These 7 Petal Schools represent a radical change, which breaks with all the previously established paradigms.  It is innovative because all the students are formed in a planetary-interconnected vision of Peace and prepares them in order to co-construct a solidary, ecological and multi-cultural society.

In these schools practical tools for self-development are promoted, where different cultures are understood and accepted. Peace is promoted – with one self , the others and the Planet- honouring the past, fully taking on the present and projecting the future in a concrete, positive and solidal manner.
