Il contributo riflette sul rapporto tra cittadinanza globale e locale e sulle forme di partecipazione nate “dal basso”, eleggendo Lampedusa a cantiere pedagogico. L’isola, infatti, terra di sbarchi e di produzione di retoriche e di immaginari sulla migrazione, in questi anni è stata anche laboratorio di nuove pratiche inclusive proprio grazie all’utilizzo delle storie, specie quelle di sole immagini. Le democrazie hanno infatti bisogno di “immaginazione narrativa”, soprattutto sul confine, per smontare le posture securitarie e decostruire i confini immateriali che insidiosamente alimentano le paure dell’altro. Grazie alla biblioteca promossa dall’organizzazione internazionale IBBY (International Board on Book for Young people), si è offerto un primo rifugio a bambine e bambini e si sono dilatati i confini, costruendo ponti e compiendo gesti di incontro e accoglienza, come nei progetti “Books on board” e “No border books” che riaffermano il diritto di vivere un’infanzia sicura e felice.

Abstract
The contribution reflects on the relationship between global and local citizenship and on the forms of participation born “from below”, electing Lampedusa as a pedagogical workshop. The island, in fact, land of landings and production of rhetoric and imagery on migration, in recent years has also been a laboratory of new inclusive practices thanks to the use of stories, especially those of images alone. Indeed, democracies need “narrative imagination”, particularly on the border, to dismantle securitarian postures and deconstruct the intangible frontiers that insidiously feed fears of the Other. Thanks to the library promoted by the international organization IBBY (International Board on Book for Young people), a first refuge was offered to girls and boys and borders were expanded, building bridges and making gestures of encounter and welcome, as in the “Books on board” and “No border books” projects that reaffirm the right to live a safe and happy childhood.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
