Teaching is much more than transmitting knowledge. School life, alongside the togetherness in families, holds a key position in society. It is the school, where our future adults grow into the culture in which they actually live. What a task for those in charge! What a challenge! And most of all: what a chance!

The book addresses those who shape coexistence in schools and those in administrations and governments who set the formal course for it, and it addresses creative minds. School case studies and a compact history of the origins of human togetherness stimulate reflection.
