Programme

Humanism of care, autobiography and educational contexts

This year's course will focus on the theme of care, understood as a pedagogically crucial category within our existential, social, ethical-political condition.
The concern for the intrinsically humanistic value of education, which animates the present Course, constitutes an explicit stance against the possible drifts and risks of a vision of man increasingly marked by the intrusiveness of the technique intended as an end, not as a means ; from the reduction of education to purely utilitarian and systemic-functionalist logics; from a depersonalization of the educational relationship, which becomes more and more an object, precisely, of a process of "pedagogical sterilization" that would like to empty the training path of the young "subjects in training" of substance, weight, content, in the name of a illusory and ephemeral need for formalization, quantification of learning and teaching.In this regard, the instrument relating to autobiography, writing and narration of self, always projected within a dialogic space, the main route for an active, participatory and emancipatory integration and inclusion is of particular value and interest.
