Architectural workshop on Dissonant Heritage_The former Druso Barrack, Silandro (BZ). Demilitarize gently
No full textIn October 2022 the former Druso Barrack in Silandro (Bozen) was partially demolished. The local Superintendency temporary stopped the demolition and part of the local community started to advocate and fight in order to save the former military site.
In this frame it was decided to organise an architectural workshop useful for reopen the discussion and figure out possible ideas for the future of this place.
The BIP project was addressed to architecture, interior design, urban planning, landscape architecture, engineering, and economics students in their 2nd or 3rd cycle degree.
The workshop aimed at providing the opportunity to acquire skills related to the cultural re-appropriation and architectural reconversion of a so-called 'dissonant heritage,' involving theoretical training with professors and experts and operational applications.
It was split into two parts, delivered online and on-site (in total 125 hours of activities 5 ECTS). During the online phase, theoretical and methodological lectures was provided, together with a historical overview of the former Druso Barrack.
The on-site experience, instead offered the opportunity to better understand the site, the context and develop proposals for this former military area, including a performance questioning what does it mean to deal with dissonance nowadays. The on-site experience, tutored on a daily base by the teachers, involved also a starting workshop with an expert in future studies and a mid term evaluations with renown professionals such as Roland Baldi (Best Architect 2014) and Walter Angonese (Director of Mendrisio Architecture Academy). The works of the students were presented at the end to the local community in a public event.
Dates of the project:
4 days online: 31 January - 3 February 2023
10 days on site: 9-18 February 2023 (Druso Barrack, Silandro)
Total credits 5 ECT
Insegnanti alle prese con programmi educativi evidence-based: l’esperienza italiana del Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies (PATHS®)
No full textThe paper introduces the first attempt at implementing, within the public primary school system,
an evidence-based social-emotional learning program called Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies
(PATHS®). The program’s central implementation elements are described, and they are ascribable
to a three year long European research that has seen the involvement of 5 different
countries: Italy, Switzerland, Croatia, Slovenia. Particularly, the paper describes the stages of teacher
training, monitoring of program implementation, experimentation and assessment which
have seen the involvement of Italian schools, with a specific focus on the effects of social-emotional
learning on inclusive process. The findings, though showing overall positive trends, highlight the
need for further investigating some aspects ascribable to the contextual adjustment of an evidence-
based program and the use of adequate assessment tools
Economic factors affecting obesity: an application in Italy
No full textThe World Health Organization has stated that obesity is spreading around the world like a “global epidemic”. In 2004 the percentage of obese people in the Italian population was 9%, but the trend s increasing in recent years. Focusing on this country, the purpose of the paper is to analyze the socio-economic variables affecting obesity by means of a survey conducted in a consumer sample. Our analysis is based on a survey conducted in Italy, and the sample was composed of 999 consumers. We used a binary logit model and the dependent variable is body mass index (BMI), expressed in a dichotomic way (seriously overweight and obese, value 1, and normal weight, value 0). The results show that the condition of the seriously overweight and obese increases with age, especially in people over 65 of age. Also gender is correlated with the pathology: being seriously overweight and obese is far more likely for men than for women. An inverse relation was shown between obesity and education, and between obesity and the level of food knowledge. The results highlight that disadvantaged social categories are more susceptible to the problem of overweight and obesity. A policy implication of the analysis, to limit the spread of obesity, could lie in programs aimed at improving health and food awareness and focused on these minority groups.economics of obesity, BMI and consumer, logit model, Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety, Health Economics and Policy,
For an inclusive education: the innovative challenge of technologies for social emotional learning
No full textThe paper presents a collection of national, European and international evidence intended to identify the efficacy of social and emotional learning, of educational technologies, with a focus, in both cases, on inclusive processes. The paper, that is the outcome of the joint work of the authors, investigates the added, potential value given by technology to social and emotional learning, through different tiers of actions and the main features of ed-tech that can support such a use.
