TENDENCY TOWARDS UNITY  
The prospect of globalisation, the world seen as a ‘global village’, and the awareness of interdependence (even though asymmetrical) between peoples and nations, all imply the need to overcome differences, so as to identify aspects which human beings have in common. Therefore, to overcome nationalism and search for shared values, it is necessary to go beyond existing conflicts and the models of representation peculiar to each culture. The construction of a common link between human beings (or between as as many of them as possible) can only stem from the respect and valuing of difference, and it is hoped will result in the building of a world culture.
From this point of view, it may be useful to work with the children on all topics that help to create the characteristics of unity, ie, the characteristics that have the same value, both in time and space, regardless of numerous differences.
