The Interiority of Multiple Intelligences in Secondary Education

The aim of motivating and accompanying children and young people in their personal growth and maturation must integrate all the dimensions of the person, from the most observable to their deepest inner world. They need, in the context of a society like ours, an initiation in interiority that precedes or accompanies an initiation in the experience of prayer. Within the educational understanding of multiple intelligences, the education of interiority is a project of educational innovation that unifies all the dimensions of the person, starting from the cultivation of the interior dimension, integrating the multiple intelligences. It is important to incorporate an attention to interiority that strengthens in our students a fuller life and contributes to healthier and fairer social relations. The cultivation of interiority moves the person to live from within, where the deepest feelings and motivations of the person lie and, from there, to relate with oneself, with the environment and with others. "Blessed are the pure (sincere) of heart, for they shall see God" (Mt 5:8).
