Program

The course aims to deal with the links between practice, learning, change / transformation from a pedagogical point of view. During the course we will deepen the processes through which it is possible, in formal, informal, informal training, to activate complex models capable of responding to the needs of individuals and of life and organizational contexts. Using the construct "community of practice" in relation to different theories of transformative learning, we will explore the models of training-research, cooperative training and participatory training.

During the course we will deal with the following thematic nuclei:
- organizations as constellations of "communities of practice" and related learning theories
- operational communities and the social dimension of learning: community, social practice, meaning, identity
- cooperative and research training and research-training
- formation as a material and symbolic composition
- works, work, training: crafts and workshops
- training and self-training in a convivial perspective
- educational practices in vocational training
- generate community: social ties and context practices
- the new citizenship practices: participatory processes in urban contexts
