The Mountains, One Step at a Time. Growing Up Among Trails, Silence, and Wonder

In this special episode of NOS, we venture into the woods of Alta Badia together with Giulia Consalvo, a Montessori teacher and educator, and her daughter Viola. As always, our guide is Valentina Lo Surdo, who leads us through an intimate and authentic conversation about how the mountains can become an ideal place to grow, to learn, and to explore. Drawing on the words and philosophy of Maria Montessori, we reflect on the importance of staying connected with nature, the freedom of movement, and the kind of education that arises spontaneously from observation and wonder. A journey through trees, moss, and silence becomes an opportunity to discover how the mountains are not just a place to visit, but a space where both children and adults can rediscover their own rhythm, listen to themselves, and grow freer.
