THE PROJECT
According to the philosophy of the Andrea Bocelli Foundation, a school is not merely a safe and functional building where learning takes place, but rather a point of connection for the entire area, a place to be inhabited and experienced, where shared stories and emotions can be exchanged. It is a place where new relationships, learning, and skills can emerge and be consolidated.
To this end, the Art & Music Labs project includes the integration of the figure of the atelierista within the educational staff, in addition to expanding and maintaining the laboratory spaces. The awareness behind this is that it is the natural tendency of children to share images, thoughts, and emotions through communicative means based on complex forms. These must be supported through relational and spatial environments rich in opportunities for exploration, building, and sharing. It is within this framework that the atelierista designs experiences that are incorporated within the overall teaching plan prepared by the teachers. The atelierista works alongside a pedagogical coordinator, who supports the integration of their activities within the educational and teaching activities at the center.
THE CONTEXT
The 2020 ISTAT Equitable and Sustainable Well-Being Report confirms that, in Italy, we are still not able to offer all young people the same opportunities for an adequate education, despite the improvements achieved in the last decade. In particular, the level of education and skills that young people manage to achieve still depends, to a large extent, on their social background, socio-economic context, and the area in which they live.
