School. Notwithstanding Everything

Three intense days of training on the Lego Serious Play Method for school staff were organised by the Don Milani Institute in Genoa for course is for headmasters, school administrative personnel, first cycle technical assistants, digital coaches, innovation teams and professors.

 

The course was held by Cecilia Stajano, Lego® Serious Play® Trained Facilitator and School Innovation Coordinator for the Fondazione Mondo Digitale [see news Learning a Method].

 

Once again, the Lego Serious Play Method proved to be “versatile and efficient, and capable of perfectly applying to all the different social contexts in which we have experimented it,” explains Cecilia Stajano.

 

"Thanks to those who participate in the four workshops, I understood the true meaning of ‘notwithstanding’ … notwithstanding the fact that personnel is insufficient, notwithstanding the lack of resources, notwithstanding portals that freeze, notwithstanding the lack of adequate training, notwithstanding everything … schools are a marvellous organization. They are democratic and deserve everyone’s profound and conscientious attention,” adds Cecilia Stajano.  "There is an underground movement that works relentlessly to help school, notwithstanding the difficult situation. And it deserves kudos for its commitment, skills, dedication and generosity.”

 

"School as a beehive” … This is the images that Cecilia uses. “A school that is capable of providing, in most cases, very high level education and learning, notwithstanding everything. School in its entirety: Ata staff, families, professors, administrators and students. It’s a community that can change society. A country that looks to the future is a country that invests in school, in all its aspects, in all its facets.”

At the end of the workshop, Cecilia interviewed school headmasters on the potential of the Lego Serious Play Method for school.

And once back in Rome, Cecilia launched one more message to all the participants: "Together, and with the Lego, you recreated current and possible scenarios. We saw how if just a few things changed, everything could fall into place perfectly. We gave space and shape to thousands of bricks with your ideas for innovation, desires and what makes you love your job: passion and responsibility. I would like to extend my most heartfelt wishes, to all those I had the pleasure of meeting, that the utopia we represented with Lego bricks may become a concrete reality. And I hope to meet you all again, soon.”
