Fondazione Mondo Digitale projects for schools in Rome.
Last Monday, the Roman Aquarium hosted the presentation of the third edition of the Map of the Educational City with free didactic, training, and cultural opportunities for students and teachers: 240 projects, over 40 of the most prestigious cultural, social, and health organisations in the city, 350 participants (teachers, headmasters, school personnel) at the presentation, nearly 1000 courses and over 23,000 students who have participated in previous editions.
The initiative, which is organised by the Rome’s Councillorship for School, Training, and Work and Councillor Claudia Pratelli, is a precious tool with which to contrast educational poverty. The initiative is founded on the idea of an educational city, an atlas of knowledge in the city where alliances and networks between cultural and social organisations promote cultural learning opportunities for schools and communities to contrast educational poverty and inequality and promote collective participation and social inclusion.
The aim of the map is to integrate the educational opportunities of schools by promoting the contribution of various local organisations.
Naturally, the map also includes some of the initiatives fielded by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale that are valid for PCTO credit:
- Factor J
- Rising Youth
- RomeCup
- Fully Enjoy the Internet
