THE HUMAN VALUES SOUGHT<\/h1>\r\n

What OSE hopes to help young people become<\/p>\r\n

\r\n Every educational approach carries a vision of the human being, whether explicit or implicit.\r\n It always answers a fundamental question:\r\n <\/p>\r\n

What kind of person do we wish to help emerge?<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/header>\r\n\r\n \r\n

\r\n The essentials in one minute<\/span>\r\n

\r\n OSE's ambition is to help each young person become more fully themselves,\r\n to reveal the best they carry within and to put it in service of the world.\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n \r\n
