Detailed Course Content

The course program intends to interest various areas of general pedagogy, starting preliminarily from a definition of the discipline, from its field of action, to arrive up to intercultural pedagogy, including the definitions of politics as active participation. The course then aims to dwell on the relationship between pedagogy and other sciences to try to understand the importance of education for sustainability and attention to environmental, labor and peaceful coexistence policies. A key point will be the analysis of the meanings of the constructs of education-education-training, while another important point is constituted by intercultural pedagogy as a fundamental discipline in the contemporary world, linked to education to otherness and to the importance of differences from a perspective of coexistence. One of the areas of discussion with the students will be to understand the importance of cultivating critical thinking as a tool for emancipation in a transitive perspective and for opening up a dialogue. The course deals with some issues of contemporary society, with particular reference to the contexts of lifelong learning, school, analysis and educational planning. The areas addressed will be: general pedagogy and educational interventions, historical and recent migrations; elements of intercultural didactics; active, responsible and participatory citizenship in projection on the territory, also thanks to the use of museums, libraries, websites and historical sites as possible paths for the interaction between different groups who live together in the same portion of the territory.
