Marco Rossi-Doria, Giulia Tosoni
Kids and school: what, how and where are they learning
How does learning happen today? What has changed in the relationship between generations and in education? Is it really possible to school in a new, welcoming and rigorous manner, in an age as complex and difficult as our own? How can we face the dramatic issue of the thousands of young people being excluded from school and from the work force? How should school be innovated? Can new forms of involvement, study, learning, work and life improvement be built where there is social exclusion? Marco Rossi-Doria, with help from Giulia Tosoni, attempts to answer these and other questions regarding today’s school, drawing from his rich personal experience as a “street teacher”.
