World Teachers' Day is celebrated on 5 October. It is the date on which Unesco and the International Labour Organization (ILO) decided to pay tribute to one of the most valuable professions in any society: teaching. Those people who have the duty and the passion to educate future generations and thus ensure the development of countries.
The Fundación Tres Culturas joins in the recognition of this collective by offering a quartet of films with a teaching theme.
We believe that values, attitudes and life models are transmitted through film and teaching. This cycle serves to applaud and value the work of millions of people from all continents dedicated to the exciting work of teaching.
