The main objective of this particular research is to provide a theoretical analysis and investigate teachers’ perceptions about school memories and values inside the school community. More particularly, besides the ‘conventional’ learning, there is another kind of learning taking place at schools concerning the organizational process people experience. In fact, in the school community values, roles, responsibilities and behaviour are also being learned. The results of the specific research, through interviews postulate the aforementioned fact, whereas the organizational process young people experience develops in depth our understanding of how it affects their well-being and school performance.
