(ANSA) - ROME, OCTOBER 30 - What will school be like after the health emergency? What role can it play after the difficulties encountered during the pandemic? And to what extent does the spatio-physical influence in places of learning? To answer these questions, the Directorate General for school systems, the evaluation and internationalization of the national education system of the Ministry of Education and the Golinelli Foundation, in the context of the signed Memorandum of Understanding on both sides, they are organizing the study conference "The school: what future after the pandemic. Innovating, designing, experimenting: proposals and paths" to be held on November 2nd, from 9.00 to 13.30, in Bologna and online.

Starting from this scenario, leading figures in the world of culture and education will discuss a new school model, addressing the issue from different points of view, from new learning paradigms to school structures and architecture, from the necessary strengthening of STEAM disciplines. to the strategic role of teachers, to that of new technologies in support of teaching activities.
All this with the aim of promoting reflection on the crucial role that the school will be able to assume, even starting from what happened in an emergency, in preparing even better young generations for the sometimes unpredictable challenges of the future.
The new school, in addition to enhancing the potential of the most avant-garde digital technologies, will have to propose new learning paradigms with a continuous updating path for teachers that includes didactic and methodological innovation proposals.
The Conference will also be an opportunity to present to the public the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Ministry of Education and the Golinelli Foundation, on educational innovation, training, research, experimentation and dissemination of scientific and technological culture in schools, for the society of knowledge.
Two new training courses for teachers will also be presented, focusing on the enhancement of STEAM subjects and their integration and interdisciplinarity: "The Design of scientific experience" to develop practical scientific research experiences in schools; "Community of Inquiry: from the science laboratory to philosophical practices" to explore the interconnections between philosophical and scientific knowledge withaim to promote an interdisciplinary approach to teaching.
