Educare la città. Patrimonio culturale, volontariato e bellezza per una rigenerazione inclusiva

Urban regeneration cannot be limited to the physical transformation of spaces, but must translate into an authentic collective learning process. In the Learning Cities perspective, the cultural heritage and the educating community become strategic resources for lifelong, inclusive and sustainable education: in this regard, volunteering and the figure of the neighbourhood educator assume a key role in strengthening the social fabric, promoting educational proximity and community cohesion. Through social pedagogy, skills and professionalism can be developed to respond to urban fragilities and foster a new welfare; the PRIN project ‘CHECK OUT – Cultural heritage and educating communities. Training competences and professionalism for a new urban welfare’ explores these dynamics, highlighting the link between education, care and beauty as a lever for social regeneration and widespread welfare.
