Montessori Summer Seminar
Neuroscience and Montessori - A Natural Partnership

The Montessori Summer Seminar wishes to offer teachers and trainers the opportunity of deepening their knowledge of current insights into brain development and how these can be connected to the Montessori approach—a brain-based education by definition. Additionally, the seminar has reserved a number of “slots” for historical components: there will be lectures on Montessori’s own development of thought, and visits to Montessori sites of special interest and significance in both the Netherlands, and Germany.

This Seminar is offered by Hogeschool Edith Stein/OCT, Hengelo in close collaboration with the University of Muenster, and Association Montessori Internationale.
Speakers that have committed so far are Froukje Bakker (Netherlands), Esther Grindel (Germany), Liene Hendriksen (Netherlands), Steve Hughes (USA), Han Kamphuis (Netherlands), Fred Kelpin (Netherlands), Lynne Lawrence (United Kingdom), Harald Ludwig (Germany), Sylvia Sarink (Netherlands), Paola Trabalzini (Italy), and Gabriele Wedy (Germany).
