During the First World War, the Frenchman Célestin Freinet (1896-1966) was wounded, which resulted in a problem with his lungs. Later, when he started teaching, his health issues prevented him from speaking for a long period of time about the day's lesson. This difficulty was one of the factors that led him to think of ways of teaching that did not depend solely on the transmission of knowledge by the teacher. In this interview, which is part of the second season of the Thinkers in Education series, the researcher presents aspects of the author's life and work, comments on some of his innovations and suggests readings to get to know him better, such as “Dossier: The current state of Freinet's pedagogy”.
