Università Roma Tre

The children's literature allows you to discover the world through different eyes, from different perspectives, to recover the imaginary dimension.
But the educator is able to turn the stories into a '"educational adventure": the plunge into reading fairy tales and stories, inventing stories and build tools are available to children and young people to conquer the reality, to "grow". Today it is increasingly necessary to broaden our vision to explore, with courage, curiosity and interest, new poetry and new languages. 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 aims to provide students with:
• an overview of the main theories of children's literature;
• an overview of the different narrative genres and their contamination;
• knowledge of the promotion of reading and animation tools;
• a discussion of the issues dealt with in fiction for children from migrant writers;
• an analysis of the educational potential of narrative and narrate in uncomfortable contexts.

The organization of the course consists of lectures and seminars and workshop activities. We will therefore use participatory teaching methods.
