Anthropology is knowledge about human being. Education implies the development of one’s own personality and potential. The centrality of human being as a shared aspect of both Anthropology and Education is the fundamental issue that this subject develops. Retrieving and updating classic thought, we believe that both Anthropology and Education begin with the knowledge and the transformation of oneself. This necessarily means an approchement and becoming closer to other people, and a better ability to meet their needs. Refining our thinking, our attitudes and our emotions, we get closer to nature and to the social environment surrounding us. In this way we become more competent both in a professional and a human sense.
