Head Mistress Irene De Angelis Curtis, who directors IIS Leonardo Da Vinci in Rome, won the Tullio De Mauro Special Award, created to honour the memory of the linguist who guided the Fondazione Mondo Digitale for over ten years as its President.
The award was presented during the ceremony at the Rome Campidoglio by Prof. Silvana Ferreri De Mauro (Modern Languages, Università degli Studi della Tuscia di Viterbo) and Marcello De Vito, President of the Rome City Council [see news: #GJC2017 Winners].
The jury presented the award with the following motivation: An adjective is enough to define the school she directs. It is open to whomever wishes to learn, to understand, to innovate and to promote the meeting between cultures. Tullio De Mauro always strove to promote a fully inclusive school and the first step towards obtaining this objective is opening its doors, to everyone.
In this interview with Eleonora Curatola, three students describe their experience at the school fab lab.
The following professors also received a special mention for their stories of innovation and inclusion:
- Daniele Manni
- Rosalba Rotondo
- Donatella Falciai
- Emilia Sera
- Cristiana Zambon
- Lidia Cangemi
