L’Asilo nel Bosco: un’esperienza di educazione alla sostenibilità e alla responsabilità

The Forest School/Asilo nel Bosco recently born in the surroundings of Rome is a pedagogical proposal rooted in the history of education worldwide and is a challenge to the Western globalisation of culture. Children’s dialogue with nature prefigures the search of an ethics for the technological age as aim for the salvation of mankind and as development prerequisite. Hans Jonas imperative of responsibility is in the school where pupils are learning strategies of active citizenship and experiment ways of sustainability. The right to the wellbeing means living together and learn the peace code. The experience in contact with the sensible world gives the feeling of being an integral part of the universe perceived as friend. Current projects led by the University Roma Tre with the Forest school represent a positive response to Europe 2020 and are a scientific investment to extend the training of teachers beyond the walls of the campus. The academic lesson founds a new paradigm of pedagogy of nature.
