THE INTENSE ACTIVITY OF THE CARMELO PITTERA FOUNDATION IN 2017 (AND WHAT COMES IN 2018)

It ends the first year of life of the Carmelo Pittera Foundation, and while we travel with our loved ones a time of reflection, balance, it seemed appropriate to carry out a review of the main moments lived during 2017.

After years of research, this year the Carmelo Pittera Foundation was established, which is synonymous with the vanguard in the development of cognitive motor skills, since we offer a different perspective for 21st century education, through the PSI.CO.M system.

The institution arose from the need to have a space that allows to continue with research and pour knowledge into practice and over time.

For years we tried to work on the development of motor skills, of children and young people in different ways, often guided by intuition. However, all the systems have done it incompletely, not being able to seriously address the cognitive work.

Professor Carmelo Pittera, after many years of work in Italy and around the world, deepened the study of learning, proposing a method with a battery of didactic pedagogical proposals applied to physical activity and sport, with a deep look at the decision-making, considerably expanding the possibility of cognitive development.
