Piazza della Scienza: a moment to think about the sense of education

In November, Controvento will participate in the Week of Education and Pedagogy organised by the city of Cesena. Controvento will coordinate Piazza della Scienza, a moment to think about the sense of education and to communicate with citizens the results of the 2008 and 2009 Ypssi processes.

In Piazza della Scienza, people will find an exhibition on scientific controversies and on the function of education in making citizens able to participate in the public debate and in the decision-making processes. Marco Cortesi, actor and dramatist, will read some passages from "Freedom road" by Howard Fast, "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury, the poem "Freedom"by Paul Eluard and some sections from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Italian Constitution.
Scenario workshops adressed to youngsters will be organised in collaboration with Libreria Coop. A rich bibliography on Science and Society will be available.
