School Year 2025/26

For Schools

In collaboration with Centro Studi BarchettaBlu, Kid Pass, La Casa delle Meraviglie di Baba Jaga APS and A2030 Social Innovation Designers OdV, we have developed many activities to accompany children and young people as they grow into informed citizens, in the belief that we all have the right to express our potential.

The programme is based on the eight European key competences for lifelong learning, including personal awareness, active citizenship, initiative, digital competence and social competence. Each workshop is designed as a complementary learning experience to the interactive exhibition “A World of Potential”, enhancing transversal skills in line with the Guidance Guidelines (Ministerial Decree 328/2022), civic education and Welcome Projects.

The workshop proposals for the 2025/2026 school year are structured around Futures Literacy, defined by UNESCO as a fundamental skill that allows us to understand, anticipate and influence the future, thanks to the ability to imagine hypothetical scenarios and make more informed decisions in the present with curiosity, creativity and vision.

The teaching methods used are innovative and participatory: from design thinking to the trialogical method (based on dialogue, collaboration and the shared construction of cultural objects). Each course makes students active protagonists, capable of imagining and co-designing future scenarios with social impact.

This new project also contributes to Ecosistema Futuro, a partnership promoted by ASViS (Italian Alliance for Sustainable Development) and created to put the future – or rather futures – and long-term thinking at the centre of cultural, political, economic and social reflection in Italy.

  • A SMALL BIG STORY!

    Curated by Baba Jaga. Together we create small islands, worlds, gardens. Ecosystems where every idea counts.

Because every child has something unique to bring to the island.
