At the Milan Sfide – Everyone’s School (March 24-26, 2023), Claudia De Crescenzo and Kim Commisso, “Our School” Professors, organised a lab dedicated to inclusive and innovative digital teaching. The event took place in Milan, in the spaces of “Fa’ la cosa giusta!,” the national fair of critical consumption and sustainable lifestyles.
Participants were involved in an active experimentation simulating the experience of “Our School” Professors: a context to facilitate experimentation with good practices for incremental innovation for inclusive teaching with digital technologies. Starting with the “Come from Afar” course published in the volume entitled Laboratories of Integrated Digital Citizenship and Sustainability (Erickson, 2022), the lab developed the theme of digital citizenship, focusing on interdisciplinarity and verticality as a working method.

"We like ‘Our School,’ because it is an opportunity. It is an open network of contacts and connections, which changes shape and adapts to the context, a kind of "Barbapapa" of didactics," adds Cecilia choosing a very effective image, one well-known by those who work with children. "In an open context, there is no rivalry, only sharing the exchange of knowledge and skills which mutually enhances the contribution of each and all."
