A cycle of webinars dedicated to primary school teachers developed in collaboration with the Centro Studi Erickson will kick off next week. It’s the beginning of our journey towards "Didattiche 2020," the event that will be held on November 13-14 to reflect on didactic activities to develop competences, debate and participation amongst students. The third edition of the conference will focus on three key words: transgress to remain faithful to the deepest meaning of education; connect to bring together worlds that do not communicate and overcome boundaries and comfort zones; transform schools to make them innovative, providing greater opportunities, and then reality.

Three webinars are scheduled to support and promote innovation and digital transformation in Italian schools in this crucial period during which it is increasingly important to develop and design new teaching and learning models. The webinars will kick off with tinkering, making and coding, three didactic activities that develop manual skills, visual-spatial abilities, creativity, collaboration and logical-scientific thought through plugged and unplugged transversal activities that can be custom-tailored to subjects and classes.
