Università Roma Tre

You can create "the sense of the book," as recalled Gianni Rodari?
Is the educator to know how to transform the read and narrate in a ' "educational adventure": the plunge into reading through the tales or stories of various types, the retrace one's own experience or learn to invent and build stories, allow discover worlds and recover the imaginary dimension. The narrative then becomes one tool available to children and young people to conquer the reality, to "grow." And if education today can only be declined with values ​​such as solidarity, brotherhood, to form a '' earthly identity ", you need to broaden our vision to explore new imagery, new poetry, new languages, to which the 'educator should be able to look with courage, curiosity and interest. These are often new products and narrative works not fully explored and analyzed, as in the case of migrant writers for children's fiction.
The course is aimed at providing students with:
an analysis of the educational potential of narrating as a tool of inclusion in contexts of risk and discomfort.

The organization of the course consists of lectures, seminars and workshops. We will therefore adopt participatory and interactive teaching methods.
