MILAN, NOV 23 - With more than 50,000 deaths now unfortunately reached today due to Covid and with the second wave of the pandemic also wiping out the world of students-after classes had, with difficulty but more or less regularly- resumed, Freud High School in Milan is launching a new program against the virus: "Affective and Inclusive Community Project."
The initiative follows the "Resilience Project" launched in September when activity resumed and "it was necessary," explains Director Daniele Nappo, "because unfortunately again the kids are at home and distance education is not enough. It is necessary to change the canons of teaching." The institute is attended by about 700 young people.
The goal is to safeguard the educating community - pupils and teachers - as an intimate and encouraging place of growth and to deal with the unexpected and engaging emotional and cognitive storms characteristic of the dramatic situation generated by the Coronavirus.
The technique used is both simple and complex at the same time: broad relational conviviality, interwoven with affective and emotional languages, promotion of the sharing of those values that make members of society feel part of a true and living community, a school that combines the task of teaching to learn with that of teaching to be. In two words, an inclusive community.
"Today the problem is not only adolescence," Nappo explains, "in this period because of Covid, fears, uncertainties, mistakes and failures are experienced to an enormous extent. Our project envisions that with a new force, students are urged not to pause in the reassuring but still pond of the known.
The light of values must be kept on. So the faculty is listening one by one to the kids to understand their difficulties not just because they are in DAD. And we address all the problems together to arrive at a shared and precisely inclusive path." (ANSA).
