La città come sistema didattico integrato di agenzie ed esperienze educative al servizio della scuola. Il caso di Biella “Learning Arcipelago”

Andrea Lupi

Abstract


Abstract

Although schools are often perceived as entities that function without genuine interaction with society, since the emergence of progressive educa­tion, it has been highlighted that curricular processes cannot occur inde­pendently of the community in which the school is located. From this arises the great educational utility of creating an integrated system of social and environmental educational resources in support to schools. Learning Archipelago in Biella, involving a growing number of com­munity actors: schools, NGO, the world of research and business, is gen­erating a responsible social transformation that starts from the school by overcoming its bureaucratic organization and isolated nature to provide children and teachers access to meaningful educational experiences that improve teaching and learning processes in many ways.

 

 Riassunto

Benché la scuola sia spesso concepita come una agenzia che opera anche in assenza di uno scambio con la società, fin dall’apparire dell’attivismo si è messo in evidenza che i processi curricolari non possono avvenire a pre­scindere dal territorio in cui la scuola è inserita. Da ciò discende la grande utilità didattica della creazione di un sistema integrato di risorse educative cittadine e ambientali a servizio della scuola. “Learning Arcipelago”, a Biella, coinvolgendo un crescente numero di attori della comunità: scuole, organizzazioni di terzo settore, mondo della ricerca e dell’impresa, sta generando una trasformazione sociale responsa­bile che parte dalla scuola per mezzo del superamento della sua organiz­zazione burocratica e della sua natura isolata per far accedere bambini e docenti a esperienze educative significative che migliorano in molti modi i processi di insegnamento e quelli di apprendimento.
