Robert Dale Owen Boeken

In the early 19th century, the Scottish industrialist Robert Owen sought to create a utopian community at New Lanark, where workers and their families could live in harmony and prosperity. Central to his vision was a revolutionary system of education, which emphasized inquiry-based learning, practical skills, and moral development. This book outlines the principles and practices of that system, which became a model for progressive educators around the world.
