All learners in each country of Europe are entitled to quality school library/media centres and services. In order to achieve this, each country in Europe, and the European Union, should adopt and implement the principles of the IFLA/Unesco Manifesto.

Ensil invites other libray and educational organisations throughout Europe to join and contribute to further discussion and action.

TIK: new sense, new senses?En el verano de 1972, Carlos Lenkersdorf escuchó esta palabra por

primera vez.

Había sido invitado a una asamblea de los indios tzeltales, en el pueblo de Bachaján, y no entendía nada. Él no conocía la lengua y la discusión, muy animada, le sonaba como lluvia loca.

La palabra tik atravesaba esa lluvia. Todos la decían y la repetían, tik, tik, tik, y su repiqueteo se imponía en el torrente de voces. Era una asamblea en clave de tik.

Carlos había andado mucho mundo, y sabía que la palabra yo es la que más se usa en todos los idiomas.

Tik, la palabra que brilla en el centro de los decires y los vivires de estas comunidades mayas, significa nosotros.

Eduardo GaleanoBocas de tiempo, Siglo XXI

Prácticas y aprendizaje

A minha formação como homem e a minha carreira como profissional, devo-a tanto às interferências positivas dos meus educadores e mestres, como, sobretudo, aos erros educativos que eles cometeram para comigo. Aprendi por intuição e experiência de vida que as atitudes chamadas erradas são tão válidas em educação como as atitudes correctas.

Mi formación como hombre y my camino como profesional, la debo tanto a las interferencias positivas de mis educadores y maestros, como, particularmente, a los errores educativos que ellos han hecho comigo. He aprendido por intuición y experiencia de vida que las atitudes llamadas erros són tán válidas en educación como las atitudes correctas

O educador em que me tornei renunciou há muito à crença mágica do educador perfeito, como o profissional que sou renunciou a esconder a ignorância com a erudição.

El educador en que me volví hace mucho que renunció à la creencia mágica en el perfecto educador, así como el profesional que soy renunció a ocultar la ignorancia com la erdudición.

Aprecio, portanto, os homens mais por aquilo que são (para o meu sentir) do que por aquilo que dizem.

Valoro, así, más a los hombres por eso que ellos son (para mí sentir) que por eso que dícen.

João dos SantosMedico. Educador. (Portugal, séc. XX)
