Course contents

The laboratory entitled "The historical-educational heritage as a resource for social and cultural educators" intends to focus attention on the concept and forms of the historical-educational and school heritage as an object of study and resource of the social educator. The phrase 'historical-educational heritage' on the historical and theoretical level will be discussed and some significant examples will be provided. If the health condition permits, it will be possible to visit significant places in the history and educational memory of the territory as sources to be questioned in their heuristic value for the educator. Some research and action paths will be proposed on the recovery of the history of places and people within the educational services between past and present, through the presentation of possible sources and methods (written, oral, etc.) thus developing personal or small group. In this way the laboratory intends to contribute to the formation of a more conscious reflexivity on the educational practices carried out, but also to the importance of documenting and reconstructing the history and memory of some services and educational professionalism otherwise destined to leave no trace of oneself, memory .
