Summary/Abstract: The article presents the possibility of using the great Latin American myths in a more engaged value-oriented teaching. Modern technological societies are impoverished as far as emotional life is concerned. Thanks to emotional education, which is about awakening emotions in the learners, we can make students more sensitive and invite them to take part in a discussion about values. The great personae of Latin America such as Simon Bolivar, Eva Peron or Che Guevara can be the subject of the didactic project.
