Character education
The documentary directed by the renowned film director and producer Roberto Girault, makes a profound reflection on the reality of students and teachers in the schools of the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area.
"This work has filled me a lot from an intellectual and above all spiritual point of view, to see the teachers, the students, the principals of these schools so committed, achieving what you have seen. -Roberto Girault, Director of the documentary.
The film shows how these educational institutions have managed to implement an innovative approach to education, focused on the integral formation of students, in which the development of social, emotional and ethical skills is promoted.
This documentary encourages us to reflect on the role of education in the forging of committed and conscious individuals. It also demonstrates that it is feasible to change the situation in our schools through an educational approach that considers the complete growth of students.
We would love for this experience that many of my colleagues lived to reach every school in Jalisco and beyond, and it seems to me that this is a program that can do it (...) In educational terms, it is a great hope. Character is the essence of education to form each and every person. -Juan Carlos Flores, Secretary of Education of Jalisco.
