Education through action

In Émile or education, Jean-Jacques ROUSSEAU proposes to educate children through action, instead of overloading them with theories that will remain for them only words devoid of meaning. It is about learning geography by walking through nearby places and producing a map yourself ; it is about learning natural science by creating its instruments yourself; it is about learning with pleasure by keeping the body and curiosity together in motion.
