In this essay, from the contributions of the Philosophy of Difference and the appropriation of the idea of genius loci, we discuss the text in order to inquire about the place of difference in education for all people, having difference and freedom as human values. In ancient Rome, it was thought that every independent being had a guardian spirit. A spirit that brought life to people and places, and that kept them company from birth until the final day. This same spirit also affirmed the nature and essence of people and places. This is the concept of genius loci that we have embraced for this article. The unique presence of the genius loci matters in event, movement and autonomy. The places are liable to change while the genius loci is not conditioned to change the place or disappear. In the revolutionary and hopeful horizon of those who choose to defend and fight for a liberating, democratic and inclusive education for all people, the 'genius Difference' invites us to the resilience and empowerment of each educator to make a difference in the human constitution of those who arrive into your hands as your apprentices.
