RESUMEN SIMPOSIO INVITADO
Silence and education. The unseen, the unspoken, the untought in educational relationship and theory of education

This symposium wants to focus the polyphony and polysemy of signs that educational experiences have, exploring how silence and language allow our attempts to give meaning (sense and intentionality)to experience and existence, making sense and promoting opportunities of freedom and responsibility. This subject (showing the multimeaning of silence, that can be chosen, imposed, intimity tacit understanding or misunderstanding) will be explored by different perspectives, getting silence into an ecological perspective of experience.
Some of the dimensions of the relation between silence and education will be: the value of listening, the meaning of silence as expression, communication and language, the silence as aesthetical experience.
