A pedagogy of listening Listening as sensitivity to the patterns that connect, to that which connects us to others; abandoning ourselves to the conviction that our understanding and our own being are but small parts of a broader, integrated knowledge that holds the universe together. Prof C. Rinaldi, University of Modena (Reggio Emilia)
