ABOUT US
The RINO Education Institute understands that the teaching-learning process must, in essence, have as its principles the transformation of reality, the transparency of its purposes, and the reduction of inequality in all its dimensions.
We understand that the scientific knowledge produced in Universities is fundamental for establishing a mature dialogue on the analysis of reality and, consequently, on possibilities for future projects.
We realize, however, that part of significant knowledge is not only found in scientific knowledge. It is also contained in everyday experiences, in individual and collective life stories, in the daily conflicts and confrontations of social life. Therefore, we value this great wisdom found in the diversity of debate necessary to build critical and inclusive thinking about life.
We are a Community full of exchange, transformation, welcoming, deconstruction and construction of knowledge.
