Social Hosting Hub

An integrated, local and on-line educational platform: high impact and inclusive. The project is one of the winners of the Google.org Impact Challenge on Security, a fund that helps non-profit organisations to develop practical solutions to contrast hate and extremism and promotes the safety of children, both on- and off-line.

 

The objective of the Fondazione Mondo Digitale and partner organisations – Comunità di Sant'Egidio, ActionAid and Parole O_stili – is to create the first phyrtual (physical and virtual) educational ecosystem of connections, relations, communities. A safe space for everyone, starting from children with concrete tools for each age group, information and the selection of the best communicational and behavioural styles to learn in a transformative manner and develop new paradigms for coexistence based on common values. The project aims to provide awareness and knowledge, promoting a conscientious use of the internet and digital citizenship.

Con Social Hosting Hub ho incontrato da remoto centinaia di ragazzi. Rientrati in presenza ho sperimentato le stanze digitali con un gruppo di studenti del liceo P. Paleocapa di Rovigo e la tecnica del debate o del dibattimento si è rivelata vincente. La scuola innovativa deve passare anche attraverso esperienze come questa e i risultati sono sorprendenti.

È stato molto stimolante che una vera e propria giuria di adulti ci abbia ascoltato e abbia commentato le nostre motivazioni.

Sono contenta di aver partecipato alla creazione di FavolApp con Cristiana Zambon. Una app per bambini per dare un nome alle emozioni, per saperle riconoscere in noi e negli altri, per capirsi e farsi capire.

Io e miei colleghi coinvolti abbiamo vissuto la formazione di Social Hosting Hub nel doppio ruolo di docente e genitore. Esaminando le caratteristiche della navigazione, abbiamo acquisito una maggiore capacità di intervento sulle modalità di uso della rete sia nostra che dei nostri figli e alunni.
