The Annual Conference of the KFPE - Commission for Research Partnerships with Developing Countries, will be done in collaboration with the NewMinE Lab - New Media in Education Lab of the Università della Svizzera italiana, 23 October 2009 in Lugano.

un riferimento a "Pensare e comunicare"

Norberto Gonzáles Gaitano, Opinione Pubblica e Chiesa Cattolica, in José María La Porte (ed.), Introduzione alla Comunicazione Istituzionale della Chiesa, EDUSC, Roma 2009, p. 104: "[...] in un mondo sempre più complesso e con un sistema educativo sempre più frastagliato, che non tiene il passo - e non può tenerlo - con la moltiplicazione dei saperi specialistici, bisogna tornare ai cardini nell'educazione: ragionare con metodo e ordine (Logica), padroneggiare la lingua (Grammatica) ed esprimersi bene o comunicare il pensiero efficacemente (Retorica), insomma il vecchio Trivium [Cfr.
