"LITTLE ARISTOTLE" - ETHICAL VIRTUES WORKSHOP

Inspired by "Nicomachean Ethics", the project aims to seed virtuous consistent attitudes in children, as part of their moral enculturation process, understood as a coherent set of knowledge, criteria, and capacities of moral judgment. Character's dispositions like courage, generosity, friendship, correctness or gentleness were aimed to be cultivated by activating non-ormal educational methods, anchored in real life and adapted to children's stage of development. The activities and conclusions of this workshop are presented in this article, which the main purpose is to find a place for Aristotelian ethics in nowadays moral education for children, to highlight the need for an appropriate moral pedagogy, that takes into account children's capacities of understanding and to inspire ethicists and moral trainers in their work.
