Tomorrow at the Benedetto Varchi High School in Montevarchi (Arezzo), more than 1100 students and teachers will participate in the Assembly organized by ScuolaZoo together with School Representatives and as part of the collaboration with the Jean Monnet Teacher Training project “Multiscale EU.” Guests of the assembly will be Francesco Pigozzo and Daniela Martinelli, who will speak on the contents of the project, dedicated to the development of a critical pedagogy of multiscale European citizenship. Below is the poster containing the topics that will be touched upon in the talk.

On March, 20th 2024 a second edition of the international Conference organized by Marilena Genovese, with the support of Francesco Pigozzo and our Research Centre and the “Excellence in Linguistic Training” Centre at eCampus University, took place online. Below you can find the conference schedule and its whole video recording (each participant approved its publication by written message sent to Dr. Genovese).

On 31 March, the small-scale cooperation project (Erasmus+) Cittadinanza multiscalare e identità dinamiche/Citoyenneté à plusieurs échelles et identités dynamiques officially ends, through whose work programme primary and secondary schools/Collège of Parabiago, La Colle-sur-Loup and Milan have carried out a structured experimentation of some didactic activities qualifying the Civic Education curriculum elaborated by Francesco Pigozzo and Daniela Martinelli in the perspective of their research for a critical “multiscale” pedagogy of citizenship.

Today, 19 March 2024, at 5 p.m., the Research Centre will hold a videoconference to disseminate the project results open to teachers from schools in the European Union (participants from Greece, France, Portugal, Poland, Spain have registered). To get the access link, simply write to citoyennes@uniecampus.it.

An interview by Ulrike Guerot, German political scientist and scholar who is among the most important EU specialists in the academic domain today, where Francesco Pigozzo tells and explains the many faces of his and Daniela Martinelli’s pedagogical research and action. The interview is part of the European Democracy Lab series that you can find on Spotify.

We have published here our paper (in Italian) on educational policies regarding Civic Education in the Italian school system, edited by Daniela Martinelli and Francesco Pigozzo. The paper is part of the activities envisaged by the Multiscale EU project and is part of the debate following the experimental implementation phase of Law 92/2019 by which Civic Education became a “subject” of the curriculum of schools of all levels. A public presentation of the policy brief will be organised in Rome.

We offer teachers from all school levels (ISCED from 1 to 4 in particular) a free experimental programme that provides them with training and practicl tools aimed at developing their own citizenship skills and their ability to enhance them in their didactic activity and educational context.

The next general presentation of these initiatives, that we called “Multiscale CIVIC EDUCATION FOR THE EUROPEAN EDUCATION AREA”, will take place in the form of an Open Online Webinar we will repeat on 12 December 2023 and 16 January 2024 – both at 4pm Central European Time. More information in the leaflet below.
