The new school year for Project OpenSpace starts in Milan, at the Video Lab in the new Phyrtual Innovation Gym that is being developed at the Istituto comprensivo Madre Teresa di Calcutta.
The Milanese School is administered by Carla Federica Gallotti: “It has been a full year. What has struck me the most is the enthusiasm of everyone involved. Indeed, this enthusiasm has clearly revealed the spirit of the project: to transform schools into open spaces, just as the project name implies” [see: A Year of OpenSpace (in Italian)].
Coach and Sound Engineer Fiammetta Castagnini transferred to Milan for the week. The year two classes will be involved in an “Audiovisual Storytelling - Audiovisual Shooting and Recording Techniques for Storytelling” Lab that will be held every day from 9:30 am to 1:00 pm.
On Friday afternoon (2:30-5:30), the lab will be held for teachers [see agenda].
OpenSpace – Spaces for the Active Participation of the Educational Community, selected by Con i Bambini as part of the Fund to contrast the educational poverty of minors (Bando Adolescenza), is a four-year project that aims to make communities more inclusive and responsible, promoting the educational and cultural growth and the empowerment of pre-adolescents and adolescents. The project is being held in suburban areas of Bari, Milan, Palermo and Reggio Calabria.
