Co-creation for policy: challenge-based learning and outdoor education as tools to connect people and places
A.A. 2024/2025
Obiettivi formativi
This course explores the process of community engagement and building when implementing public policy in the world of education. We will discuss how the education sector has a fundamental role in achieving territorial awareness and participatory citizenship. To this end, we will also focus on how educational policies can nurture a sense of belonging between citizens and the territory they live in. Lastly, through the case-study of one of Italy's greatest, most recent youth engagement policies, students will learn how the Co-Creation methodology can be applied to encourage and perpetuate social change and - ultimately - development.

MODULE 2
- Introduction to Challenge-Based Learning (CBL)
- The spread of CBL in the Italian school ecosystems
- Informative perspective of the global CBL landscape (case-studies and best practices)
- Tools, techniques and methodologies to guide the learning design of CBL
MODULE 3
- Combining Challenge-Based Learning and Outdoor Education to connect people and places
- Mapping as a Multisensory Research Method
- Tools, techniques and methodologies to guide the learning design of a Mapping Lab (MAB, a format of outdoor learning)
MODULE 4
- Experiencing co-creation through Challenge-Based Learning and an Outdoor Education activity, including a possible excursion to mountainous regions
