It will be an afternoon of stories enriched by precious musical interventions, the conference to return the results of Uno e Sette, a project to combat educational poverty promoted and coordinated by the CS Consortium – Cooperation and Solidarity and selected by the “With children” fund.
One and Seven was developed over the years last three years for young students of multi-classes in the Vulture Alto Bradano and Val d’Agri hinterlandwho lived and experienced an active, inclusive and innovative school, with teachings that stimulated creativity and motor skills.
The multi-classes:
- they participated in storytelling circles, theatrical games, drawing workshops, drafting posters to tell the story of the community;
- they listened to and wrote stories until their film production;
- they explored their relationship with nature in classrooms of leaves and created herbariums in green books.
A beautiful school that doesn’t end with the ringing of the bell, but which offers extracurricular hours workshops and playtime with bibliogame points, even in summer: in these three years no opportunity has been missed to put creativity at work or to seek contact with it through the sharing of books and stories.
The development of the project was possible thanks to the work of an important network of partner entities:
- the social cooperatives Il Cerchio Magico, Il Girasole, Il Melograno, META, the CEA “Oasi Bosco Faggeto”, the Association “Il Bibliomotocarro”, Nati per legge Basilicata;
- the institutions USR (Basilicata Regional School Office), CESPI (Centre for International Politics Studies),
- the municipalities of Montemurro, Montemilone and Sarconi,
- the “Racioppi” Comprehensive Institutes of Moliterno and “SGBosco” of Palazzo San Gervasio.
During the conference on May 16, the project partners will talk about experiences, results and possible development paths for the project activities.
Giovanni Zoppoli of the Mammut Territorial Center of Naples will present the result of the action research designed in collaboration with the project leader for the schools of the Lucanian hinterland of the province of Potenza: the publication “Multi-class by choice”, a loving look at the multi-class classes, often established in the internal areas of Basilicata due to depopulation.
During the afternoon, the storyteller Gianluca Lalli will perform three of Rodari’s tales to music, including “Uno e sette” song inspired by the story that gives its name to the project.
Below are the posters with the details.
