Cognitive Development and Human Sciences: Lecture by Prof. Majda Nniya in collaboration with the Instituto Cervantes

In collaboration with the Instituto Cervantes, this session of the lecture series was devoted to the theme: “De la paz simbólica a la ciencia transformadora: Mujeres, infancia y arquitectura del conocimiento” (From symbolic peace to transformative science: women, childhood and the architecture of knowledge). The session was led by Professor Majda Nniya, assistant professor at the Faculty of Human and Social Sciences of UEMF.

The presentation offered a detailed analysis of cognitive development throughout life, from early childhood to adulthood, highlighting the importance of the educational environment, emotional regulation and stress management in learning.

The exchanges also emphasized the role of the family environment, and more specifically that of the mother, in supporting the intellectual and emotional development of the child. They recalled that cognitive abilities are built progressively through experiences, social interactions and surrounding reference points.

Bringing together students, teachers and members of the university community, as well as representatives of the Instituto Cervantes, this lecture provided a rich space for dialogue on contemporary issues in education, human development and cognitive sciences.

This initiative is part of UEMF's commitment to promoting interdisciplinary approaches and encouraging reflection on current educational and societal challenges.
