Silvia Palá Intérpretes has collaborated with us by offering our interpreting services during the teacher training course so that teachers can follow and apply Maria Montessori’s teaching method.

Maria Montessori was a physician, educator, psychiatrist and philosopher, as well as a humanist, activist, feminist, Italian suffragette and devout Catholic. She became one of the first female doctors in Italy. Later as an educator she became known for her educational philosophy Maria Montessori, and her writings on scientific pedagogy.

Her educational method is used today in many public and public schools around the world.

On 25, 26 and 27 January, the 11th National and 15th International Congress on University Service-Learning took place in the wonderful setting of the Casa de Convalescència at the Hospital de Sant Pau in Barcelona.
A decade after the introduction of the concept of service learning in higher education, experts from the 8 Catalan public universities met for three days to debate the impact of service learning around three very specific axes:

• The impact on institutions and their communities
• The impact on students
• The impact on teachers and the university

The Silvia Palá Intérpretes team provided simultaneous interpreting services to facilitate communication between all the participants.
