the first European festival on creativity

2014 Programme

Event #32

Alfio Maggiolini

From Being Kids “Against” to Being Responsible Ones

Transgressive behaviour is typical of adolescence. Anti-social, smug, tough, impulsive adolescents run against educational norms established by adults, and end up challenging the laws that regulate social relations. Such behaviour is not just the expression of a lack of control or empathy, of an absence of shame or guilt feelings; rather, it is above all a manifesto of intentions, an appeal to the culture of adults. Kids “against” have lost faith in the idea that adults can help them to grow, and seek solidarity in their peers. Rules won’t help them, but a commitment on the part of adults who can guide them in what they need to grow will.
