Abstract
As artificial intelligence continues to transform educational landscapes, the need for approaches that preserve the human essence of learning becomes increasingly urgent. This article argues that while digital tools offer efficiency and personalization, they cannot replicate the emotional, aesthetic, and relational dimensions that foster curiosity, joy, and self-actualization. Building upon theoretical frameworks from humanistic psychology, embodied cognition, and positive psychology, the text explores the foundations and principles of human-centred learning. Suggestopedia is presented as a compelling, evidence-informed methodology that integrates cognitive, emotional, and sensory experiences, offering a model for the digital age. Rather than positioning technology and humanistic pedagogy in opposition, the article proposes a vision in which digital innovation elevates – rather than eclipses – the human spirit in education.

Abstract
Electricity production and consumption play a crucial role in the development trajectory of countries, especially in Africa, where challenges related to affordability and sustainability persist. Despite the abundance of renewable and non-renewable energy sources, achieving universal access to electricity remains a significant challenge. A reliable and affordable energy system is still far from being achieved in many African countries, hampering economic and social progress. This paper analyses the specific challenges faced by sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Mozambique, in achieving clean energy goals electricity assess to all. Through a comprehensive analysis of current conditions in the electricity sector, the study identifies the main obstacles and discusses potential solutions. Based on a critical review of existing literature, the paper describes the motivations, objectives and provides information on the electricity sector in the selected countries. The findings reveal that while access to electricity remains extremely low in these countries, particularly in rural areas, there is a remarkable disparity between them. Our findings emphasize the vital role of access to electricity in poverty reduction and economic growth in the region, but access rates remain below 51%, with rural areas being disproportionately poor.
