Italian Sign Language (LIS) and Tactile LIS (LISt) max 2 CFU (for the basic course, the advanced course or both) Introduced in the wake of the recognition of the Italian Sign Language (LIS) and the Tactile LIS (LISt) by the Italian State, this course aims to bring those who participate closer to the world of the LIS and the LISt; a world in which communication passes through a different channel from the one we usually associate with (spoken) languages: the visual/tactile/textual channel. Lecturer responsible: Danilo Monteverde The Course of Study recognises 2 CFUs for the basic level course or 2 CFUs for the intermediate level course, i.e. it is possible to request recognition in the other activities of only one module (basic or intermediate depending on your starting level) for a maximum of 2 CFUs. More information on lesson times and classrooms will be published in due course on the "News" section of this website. max 2 CFU (for the basic course, the advanced course or both) Introduced in the wake of the recognition of the Italian Sign Language (LIS) and the Tactile LIS (LISt) by the Italian State, this course aims to bring those who participate closer to the world of the LIS and the LISt; a world in which communication passes through a different channel from the one we usually associate with (spoken) languages: the visual/tactile/textual channel.

Philosophy for Children Workshop - Community 1 CFU Lecturer: Prof. Maria Silvia Vaccarezza Laboratory on philosophical methodologies for character education and complex thinking To deepen theoretical-practical knowledge related to the philosophy for children/community proposal and the practices of philosophy; To acquire skills in facilitating philosophical dialogue in research communities; Exercise and enhance critical, creative and caring thinking skills; To deepen the relationship between philosophy for children/community and philosophy; The workshop intends to involve students (three-year and masters) of the philosophy department of the University of Genoa. The activities will be organised in two meetings per month for a total of 25 hours of which 16 hours face-to-face and 9 hours of individual exercise (1CFU). The philosophy for children was born in the early 1970s thanks to the work of Matthew Lipman and Anna Margareth Sharp, professor of logic and professor of pedagogy at Columbia University. It is a proposal for the practice of philosophy capable of suggesting some significant changes in the school environment: from the classroom to the research community, from the role of the teacher to that of facilitator, from the idea of knowledge as the acquisition of knowledge to that of a dialogical, questioning and reflexive process. The philosophy for community is one of the possible developments of philosophy for children. It is addressed in particular to the adult world and to certain contexts: work organisations, social and health workers; prisons; residential communities for substance abusers; neighbourhood workshops; informal groups; libraries. The research laboratory in philosophy for children/community promoted by Prof. Maria Silvia Vaccarezza in collaboration with Silvia Bevilacqua (Propositi di filosofia snc) intends to experiment and encourage research on philosophy for children-community and the practices of philosophy through an in-depth study of the philosophical, pedagogical and political horizon from both a theoretical and practical point of view; with particular attention to the possible declinations in contexts: scholastic, extracurricular, educational and social. The activities envisage direct involvement of students/teachers. 1 CFU Lecturer: Prof. Maria Silvia Vaccarezza Laboratory on philosophical methodologies for character education and complex thinking To deepen theoretical-practical knowledge related to the philosophy for children/community proposal and the practices of philosophy; To acquire skills in facilitating philosophical dialogue in research communities; Exercise and enhance critical, creative and caring thinking skills; To deepen the relationship between philosophy for children/community and philosophy; The workshop intends to involve students (three-year and masters) of the philosophy department of the University of Genoa.
