Learning outcomes

At the end of the workshop the student: - is able to move autonomously in applying the specific techniques learned independently or within projects organized by the institutions; - will know how to deal with other subjects on the methods of use and documentation of the techniques learned; - knows how to place the specific knowledge learned in different types of service; - will know how to evaluate the limits and merits of the technical tools learned; - will know how to transfer the technologies learned in different contexts by making personal modifications and additions.

Course contents

In the laboratory, students will be accompanied to get to know and make their own the professional skills necessary for building an educational relationship with families. We will focus more on the analysis of the moments of transition, in which the choices and behaviors of the educator prove to be fundamental for a real inclusion of all children and families within the educational service. Through the reading of the reference texts, the presentation of specific cases and the comparison with the testimonies of professionals, students will be led to reflect individually and in groups on the following contents:


- Relationship between horizontal continuity and transitions


- Listening and observation as tools of the relationship


- Spaces and times


- Positioning of families and professionals in the educational relationship
