"A center educational cannot close itself in a past and a present that, however fruitful they may be, can close and suffocate its essential dimension of orientation to the future". This was stated by Francisco Altarejos, professor of department of Education of the University of Navarra and one of the coordinators of the XXX conference of Educational Centers that will take place at the University of Navarra between February 4 and 5.

The meeting, in which managers and teachers of secondary schools will participate, will be developed on this occasion under the degree scroll "Culture and center educational".

The goal of the meeting, organized by the School of Philosophy and Letters of the University of Navarra and developed by its department of Education, is to address the keys to the future of the center educational, since "thinking and planning the future is the main task of the present of the Education", according to this expert.

A project educational

"By addressing the future, the center educational forges its own educational culture. It is a matter of establishing a true project, defined but open; solid but flexible; arduous but attainable, capable of call the wills in a common business , its own and original", he added. In his opinion, "this task is incumbent on each center educational in singular, because the origin is different in each one".

Francisco Altarejos will speak at these conference on "The family in the culture of the center educational" and also about the "Role of virtues in the development of culture in students". Other experts will also take part, such as Tomás Melendo, Full Professor of Metaphysics at the University of Malaga, who will give a talk lecture on "The work as model of transformation of the people who make culture", and Rafael Alvira, professor of Philosophy and director of the high school business and Humanism of the University of Navarra, whose discussion paper will deal with "Culture as cultivation".
