Qu’est-ce qu’un conte pour enfant ? Les Casse-noisette de Hoffmann et Dumas
2019
Le conte Casse-noisette et le Roi des Rats de Hoffmann paraît initialement dans Les Frères de Saint-Sérapion, encadré par un débat sur ce qui fait la singularité d’un conte pour enfants. Le texte entre en France détaché du recueil originel ; il est réécrit par Dumas en 1844. La comparaison des versions de Hoffmann et Dumas permet de réfléchir à la nature problématique des contes pour enfants : le conte pourrait bien être en définitive un genre sur l’enfance.

Peers as Teachers in Physical Education Hip Hop Classes in Finnish High School
2015
In this case study, theoretically rooted in peer-assisted learning (PAL), ten female high school students, acting as peer teachers, taught hip hop dance in a voluntary physical education course. The data, derived from questionnaires and interviews with the peer teachers, were analysed using content analysis. The results showed that the peer teachers considered dance an important subject in the weekly curriculum. On the one hand, peer teachers enjoyed the freedom of making the class look like their own, the fast learning of their students, and the increased self-confidence acquired over the course. On the other hand, most of them were self-critical and felt ashamed when making mistakes. They…
Mind Games
2021
This paper describes the preliminary stages and the theoretical and methodological inspiration for the design of UrbanCraft, a gamified activity based on Kevin Lynch's mental maps and aiming at enhancing youth participation and inclusion in urban co-design and governance. This activity draws on previous local experiences on participation and social inclusion, held in the Southern Italian city of Palermo, in an attempt to mix urban studies, serious games and artificial intelligence methodologies. In this experiment, we designed a gamified activity conceived for nine- to twelve-year-old primary and secondary school children, due to our previous cooperation with several primary and secondary s…
Lebanon: between aspiration of changes and the ancient regime

In these last years Lebanon and Lebanese experienced extraordinary events which hugely aected both people and institutions. This report is exploring all these crisis dimensions with the aim of providing “food for thought” and contribute to the debate related to the immediate future of the country and therole that youth can eventually play. Thanks to the collaboration with Lebanese academicians and a well-structured field research performed in the country, authors have been able to present an unusual point of view with respect to some crucial issues that are affecting nowaday…
European fitness landscape for children and adolescents: updated reference values, fitness maps and country rankings based on nearly 8 million test r…
2023
Objectives (1) To develop reference values for health-related fitness in European children and adolescents aged 6–18 years that are the foundation for the web-based, open-access and multilanguage fitness platform (FitBack); (2) to provide comparisons across European countries. Methods This study builds on a previous large fitness reference study in European youth by (1) widening the age demographic, (2) identifying the most recent and representative country-level data and (3) including national data from existing fitness surveillance and monitoring systems. We used the Assessing Levels of PHysical Activity and fitness at population level (ALPHA) test battery as it comprises tests with the h…
Gross motor coordination: We have a problem! A study with the Körperkoordinations Test für Kinder in youth (6-13 Years)
2021
The main goal of our cross-sectional research was to determine the current values of gross motor coordination (GMC) of Italian boys and girls between 6 and 13 years of age. Secondary goals were to study gender differences, and the four subtests trend with ages. Results were compared with the references proposed by KTK authors and with similar searches. Anthropometric measurements and KTK data from 2,206 schoolchildren (girls: n = 1,050; boys: n = 1,156) were collected. The KTK raw score (RS) increased with the age of the subjects (r = 0.678; p < 0.001). In 11–13-year-old subjects, the increase in results is less than in younger subjects. RS showed differences by gender (F = 5.899; p …
Can the 20 and 60 s All-Out Test Predict the 2000 m Indoor Rowing Performance in Athletes?
2022
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to look for a new, simple, and fast method of assessing and monitoring indoor race performance and to assess the relationship between 20 s, 60 s, and 2000 m indoor rowing performances of youth rowers to evaluate their anaerobic profile.Methods: For three consecutive days, 17 young able-bodied male rowers (15.8 +/- 2.0 years), performed three tests (20 s, 60 s, and 2000 m) on a rowing ergometer. Mean power (W-20, W-60, and W-2000) and 2000 m time (t(2000)) were considered for the analysis. In addition, 14 athletes (15-18 years) performed a 20 s, 60 s, and 2000 m tests and used this as a control group. To define the anaerobic profile of the athletes, W-2…
Roma Youth
2021
This chapter highlights the importance of integrating research on positive youth development processes in the most disadvantaged youth groups. The authors focused on Roma youth, representing a prototypical low-status minority group. The first part of the chapter examines the demographics and the socially, politically, and ideologically challenging contexts in which Roma young people are embedded, taking into account the case of Italy, one European country with high anti-Roma sentiments. The second part summarizes the literature that deals with social-psychological factors underlying the developmental functioning and optimal well-being of Roma youth in spite of adversity. The third part focu…
Il contributo della religione e della spiritualità allo sviluppo positivo dei giovani. Una rassegna sistematica della letteratura
2020
La prospettiva teorica del Positive Youth Development (PYD) suggerisce come la religione e la spiritualità possano rappresentare risorse, ideologiche e sociali, capaci di sostenere percorsi di sviluppo positivo nei giovani. Considerato ciò, il presente lavoro ha rivisto sistematicamente la più recente letteratura, con l’obiettivo di studiare il contributo di tali risorse. È stata inizialmente interrogata la banca dati Scopus. Diciannove studi, pubblicati dal 2000 in poi e rispettanti i criteri stabiliti, sono stati inclusi nella rassegna. I risultati offrono indicazioni su quali siano le condizioni per le quali religione e spiritualità possono incentivare efficacemente lo sviluppo ottimale …
