2011
This chapter presents the results of the study of the innovation capabilities of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Estonia, Latvia and two catching-up regions in Poland and Germany.

We interviewed 245 top managers from SMEs involved in tourism (m…
El procés d'informació i orientació professional: aproximació al perfil de l'orientador
2008
Durant els últims anys, el concepte d'educació permanent, també anomenat Life Long Learning, ha estat objecte de debat en el disseny de polítiques i accions educatives a Europa. L'orientació professional constitueix un element estructural i funcional del sistema educatiu i formatiu amb un objectiu clar: l'èxit d'una inserció professional i social satisfactòria de la persona. L'orientació professional comprèn aspectes d'informació acadèmica i laboral juntament amb altres aspectes fonamentals com és ara el coneixement de la persona i les possibilitats de l'entorn. La informació acadèmica i professional és un element imprescindible per a l'orientació. L'orientació professional s'ha de dirigir …

Pathways to higher education in France and Switzerland: Do vocational tracks facilitate access to higher education for immigrant students?
2014
In this chapter we wish to clarify through which institutional pathways higher education is accessed by immigrant group students in Switzerland and France. We have chosen these two countries because they differ from each other both in their educational systems and in the ways new routes to higher education have been set up through vocationally orientated programmes. The educational landscape in France is characterised by a more school-based system and has a greater tradition of prestigious tertiary education institutions (Duru-Bellat et al., 2008). Moreover, traditional vocational education and training (VET) does not have very high status and therefore fails to attract a large proportion o…
Recuperare la sostenibilità dell’educazione attraverso l’agire laboratoriale
2022
Temi riguardanti l’ecologia e le scienze ambientali sono da sempre inseriti nella programmazione didattica delle diverse discipline di tutti gli ordini di scuola. L’emergenza pandemica da Covid-19, che ha richiesto un adeguamento degli spazi alle necessità di distanziamento, la riformulazione degli ambienti abitativi, lavorativi e scolastici, la riorganizzazione delle attività educative e formative, ha riportato alla luce l’evidente necessità di un complesso ridisegno degli spazi e delle abitudini, ma soprattutto ha fatto sviluppare una nuova coscienza verso il mondo che ci circonda e dell’opportunità di salvaguardarlo. L’articolo propone una riflessione metodologica sull’Educazione alla so…
Borgese, Jovine e Silone prefatori per il Touring Club Italiano
2014
Si mettono a sistema tre brevi testi di tipo etnogeografico con cui si sono cimentati Silone, Jovine e Borgese negli anni Trenta-Quaranta del Novecento, concettualizzando e testualizzando i caratteri più peculiari della propria regione di appartenenza. Prenderò in esame la prefazione che Borgese scrisse per Sicilia (Touring Club Italiano, 1933) e le due prefazioni che Silone e Jovine scrissero per Abruzzo e Molise, (Touring Club Italiano, 1948). Mi ripropongo di innestare le ragioni di questi testi nel dibattito sui processi di “orientalizzazione” del Mezzogiorno italiano, intendendo per orientalizzazione i percorsi culturali di tra- sformazione in categoria metastorica e stereotipata dell'…
