Promoting Democratic and Intercultural Competences in the Primary School Context: The experience of “Children’s Voices for a new Human Space”

2021

The promotion of citizen’s democratic and intercultural competence is one of the main actions that European societies may take against some of the most significant challenges they are facing nowadays. The paper is aimed at briefly describing the Council of Europe’s Reference Framework of Competences for Democratic Culture, some actions that can be taken to promote democratic and intercultural competences and a case of implementation of this framework in the context of primary school, that is the Erasmus+ Project “Children’s Voices for a new Human Space” (CVS). The paper also aims at illustrating the intellectual outputs produced by CVS project consisting in a training course for teachers, a…

Training teachers for effective Citizenship and Intercultural Education. A best practice

2014

The paper aims at introducing the training methodology developed during the project “Training Citizenship and Intercultural Education: methods and resources for adult learning (Tra.C.I.E.)”. The project was funded in the framework of the Lifelong Learning Program (Grundtvig, Multilateral projects) and involved five organizations of different European countries (Italy, Bulgaria, Portugal, Romania, and Spain). Tra.C.I.E. methodology consists of a set of curricula for the training of the educators in the field of Citizenship and Intercultural Education. It was developed on the basis of an analysis of the main needs of the European educators, as well as considering the best practices already de…

VISUOMOTOR INTEGRATION SKILLS IN CHILDREN AFFECTED BY OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA SYNDROME: A CASE-CONTROL STUDY

2016

Introduction: Sleep related breathing disorders (SRBD) consist of frequent and repetitive episodes of pharyngeal obstruction during sleep, with consequent intermittent hypoxia, sleep architecture fragmentation, daytime sleepiness and/or behavioural problems and executive impairment in children. When untreated, SRBD and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) mainly, may impact school performance, cognition, metabolism, and cardiovascular function. Aim of the present study is assessing the visuomotor integration skills in children affected by OSA. Materials and methods: 57 subjects affected by mild-to severe OSA, PSG diagnosed according to international diagnostic criteria, (31 males and 26 f…

Passo a passo lungo le tappe fondamentali: esercizio di clinica n. 1

2010

In questo scritto provo a raccontare della mia prima paziente e dei “primi passi” che, in assoluto, muovo all’interno di una relazione clinica. Vacillando. Non a caso ho scelto d’intitolare il lavoro: “Passo a passo lungo le tappe fondamentali”. Come se ogni passo - ogni riflessione, ogni momento - avesse bisogno del suo particolare assestamento. Così, a partire dal primo colloquio e dall’analisi della domanda, riferirò alcuni frammenti delle conversazioni con gli altri curanti (il neurologo e lo psichiatra); mi soffermerò in una riflessione sul linguaggio diagnostico; proverò ad accennare alcune considerazioni sulle dinamiche co-transferali tra me e la sig.ra Noto ed, infine, parlerò di un…

ANATOMICAL DISSECTION AND ANALYSIS OF THE STRUCTURES OF THE UPPER LIMB

2017

In 2015, a whole body dissection course was proposed by the University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy, thanks to the cooperation with the University of Malta, Msida, Malta. The purpose of this study was to show the the difference between the studyof anatomy on books and on corpses. The article focuses its attention on the dissection method of the upper limb. The astudy was performed on two corpses, a male and a female, by using a basic surgeon kit. Blunt dissection method was used for fasciae, innards and to isolate vascular-nervous structures from the fat; we used scalped for cutis, sub cutis, muscles, fasciae, veins, arteries and nerves of the upper limb from the shoulder to the hand. The upp…

Porcine Model for Internal Mammary Vessels Harvesting

2018

Recipient vessels selection is crucial for successful microsurgical breast reconstruction. The internal mammary vessels (IMVs) have gained great popularity, and they are often selected as first choice recipient vessels. The IMVs can be exposed for microvascular anastomosis through a rib-removing (trans-costal) or a rib-sparing (intercostal) approach.1–3 Because the vessels are located between the rib cage and the parietal pleura, adequate training is needed to avoid and eventually manage bleedings and pleural perforation. This training is better performed in a nonhuman model. Our aim was to investigate the pig as a surgical model for IMVs harvesting to be used in training.

Training Language Mediators and Interpreters through Embodied Cognition, Immersive Learning and Virtual Reality: Didactic, Organizational and Cost Be…

2022

The use of Virtual Reality (VR) for training purposes has expanded exponentially in the last decade. This paper specifically examines the use of VR in the training of language mediators and interpreters. By way of exemplification, the paper describes a training project at the University of Palermo, the “Coopera” project. The physically-cognitively immersive ‘learning by doing’ factor that characterizes a VR educational experience is particularly well-suited to skill- based activities. The paper explains how the immersive nature of VR and the notion of ‘embodied cognition’ is particularly suited to mediator/interpreter training by plausibly reproducing daily life situations and providing a ‘…
