With deep sadness and pain we received the news of Daniel Chartier’s death, happened at the beginning of February. Daniel Chartier has deeply influenced the movement of Alternate Systems Schools not only France but, also, in many other countries of the world.
He began his work in the Rural French Maisons Familiales in 1947, where it was a Monitor, the Director and between 1962 and 1991 he was the Director of Chaingy’s National Pedagogic Centre (France). His work of investigation and participation in the trainings of Monitors of the Alternate System Methodology was great.
Even though his retirement in 1991, he was active with the Alternate Systems Schools (in the Video section of our website you can see two videos of a Conference realized – some years ago– for the International Pedagogic Team of the AIMFR, which was made with his friend Jean-Claude Gimonet in Chaingy’s National Pedagogic Centre).
In the Documents Section of our website will be able to find a commemorative text written by that Jean-Claude Gimonet, to his friend Daniel Chartier on the occasion of his death.
