The human being is a body permanently exposed to the passing of time, to the inclemency of the world, to the fragility of life. The human being, as corporeality, is born in a context, in a place and in a culture. However, his plasticity and multidimensionality resignify the context. His relationships with others and with himself defines the place and the non-place as meeting and relationships scenarios. Education, as a meeting scene, makes the donation and giving possible which depart from the body of the teacher to his apprentice, a relationship without any contract or agreement, an ethical gesture that emerges as a promise for a better future in which educational experiences take place, and with them, the proper name of the other.
