Educare alla gioia

The hypotheses that the author intends to make in her article is that presently, Integral Education can be one of the approaches adopted for school education which can promote a sense of “well-being” and an inner joy for the students and the teachers, who are important constituents and investments in the educational process. Here one accepts that with an Integral vision for education, it is possible to educate and to grow because this approach follows the path of liberty and the “joy of the being”. Two aspects come to light through this investigation: the training of teachers as “guides” and the sense of “well-being” present in the “free” schools. The latter supports what the hypothesis states, consequent research too indicates the same, which is that freedom is a necessary component of education, for a holistic development of the child (physical, mental and spiritual): that it promotes and helps recreate the experience of “Joy of being”. The conclusion that this article draws is based on the introductory elements, the prolegomena to theories of education: “Joy”, intended as the “guiding emotion” in education can also act as a condition of union with the Absolute

The role of agroforestry areas of the province of Bari in the absortion of carbon dioxide

Agroforestry areas have a significant and recognized productive, socio – economic, environmental and landscape role. An important ecological function performed by these areas is the net absorption of considerable quantities of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The scientific knowledge of the CO2 assimilation capacity of agroforestry ecosystems in a territory, is a useful and innovative means to support territorial planning. In the interests of environmental sustainability, emissions from human activities carried out in a specific local context, must be adapted by the simultaneous capacity of CO2 sequestration. For the protection of environmental quality, the choice of land use should therefore optimize the circuit of interaction between emissions and absorption. This work takes into account the agroforestry areas of the Province of Bari to estimate the potential capacity to absorb CO2 and compare it, with the current emission levels
