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.
