the main objectives and learning outcomes of the course are:
- to provide students with historical, theoretical, epistemological and methodological knowledge concerning the field of adult education.
- to develop abilities and competences in the field of qualitative methodologies.
- to promote analysis and understanding abilities of relevant literature, concerning the topics of adult education.

(the student is able to):
• plan, organize and evaluate measures for promotion, entertainment and reading comprehension and enjoyment of reading;
• know the cognitive, affective and emotional components involved in reading;
• assess the quality of the books in relation to children’s cognitive development;
• build reading comprehension tests on different types of text;
• know the variety of reading practices in multimedia environments and conduct shared reading experiences;
• become better aware of the relationship between reading, writing, listening, telling and building of self and identity;
• know the main features of the shared read and appreciate it in different educational contexts;
• collaborate on the development of an online learning “narrative community” that makes more meaningful the understanding of the topics covered;
• share readings, considerations, personal or produced in the working group papers;
• communicate effectively, face to face and through the network with colleagues of the course, with the tutors and the teacher.

The objectives of the training are: a) retrace some conceptual nodes of the debate and ethno-anthropological research, successful completion of the concept of race to the formulation of culture, to the deconstruction of the contradictions of multiculturalism, from the perspective of a new contemporary ethnography of the worlds; b) provide critical elements to address issues and problems of contemporary globalization as a complex Web of local and transnational processes; c) develop the perspective of studies of political anthropology, historical analysis of the contradictions related to the concept of ethnic identity as in reflections that define the scope of multiculturalism, placing them in connection with the reality of migration and in the study of the different forms in which old and new racism, along with other exclusionary practices, articulate processes of social construction of difference.

General objective of the course will be that of endowing students with those tools necessary to project and write teaching and learning materials in different disciplinary and educational settings, being them formal and informal.
Students will be asked to reflect on the lexicon and syntactical structures to be used for an effective teaching, according to the addressees’ profile, with specific reference both to teaching and learning and cultural and scientific communication in school and museum context. Students are asked as well to reflect on the level of difficulty of the texts proposed in order to transfer contents, on the choice of the kind of language used and to be used, and on the ways of representation of a certain content.
They will have, then, to work on the analysis of the writing techniques related to the disciplinary fields identified, in projecting and defining a methodology of work and in the draft of texts for teaching and learning, solving educational problems submitted to their attention. Meta-objectives will be the possibility to increase both literacy abilities, often lacking as regards grammar and syntaxes and writing argumentation skills, critical thinking skills and creativity.
To this aim the course is articulated in a main module (face to face and distance) and a creative writing lab where main tools for analysis and production of fiction texts (stories, novels and scripts) and non-fiction texts (press articles and short essays) will be explained.
