Danilo Dolci

This study examines the many sides of Danilo Dolci's work, approaching it through the lens of environmental education. It treats him as a community educator working from the ground up, a nonviolent campaigner, and a poet. The book explains his Reciprocal Maieutic Approach, a dialectical way of inquiring that unfolds as a shared exploration. It begins with each participant's lived experience, cultural background and intuition, and aims to cultivate active citizenship.

Between the 1950s and the 1990s, Dolci ran sessions in Sicily that produced action plans. These plans sought to strengthen individuals and reshape their communities. They also reached further, toward changes intended to matter at a global and planetary scale.
