Description
EDUCATIONAL ACCOMPANIMENT: THE ART OF CARING AND BEING CARED FOR
Book Summary
At a time when education transcends the mere transmission of information, Xosé Manuel Domínguez Prieto invites us to rethink the act of education as an experience of accompaniment and care. This work explores how the relationship between generations, based on attending to fragility, mutual support, and the creation of possibilities, becomes the backbone of a new educational paradigm. The reader will discover that caring and being cared for are not complementary actions, but the very essence of a transformative and community-based education.
What is it about?
The book proposes a profound reflection on the need to move beyond an educational model centered exclusively on the transmission of knowledge. Domínguez Prieto argues that education, understood as a community task, must incorporate accompaniment and care as essential elements. Through an analysis that connects pedagogy with the ethics of care, the author describes how attending to the vulnerability of others, fostering their development, and being a source of new opportunities are fundamental actions for building a more humane society. The work is situated within a new cultural paradigm that redefines intergenerational bonds and shared responsibility in the formation of individuals.
