Palermo, ZEN District. An occasion of urban re-qualifying
2012
Among the changes made to the original scheme proposed by Amoroso Group, were some that showed the willingness to accommodate the constraints established by the local council and were designed primarily to protect certain pre-existing historical sites in the area. Consequently, the gridded, dense neighbourhood Zen 2 had to be opened in certain parts. Thereupon on the South-East quarter the "0D" insula, the citrus grove, the historical outskirts and the school in Trapani Pescia Street detect an emblematic fragment, useful to understand the contradictions that exist in this district, where heterogeneous elements form self and distinct parts. The design of new residences in this area is an occ…

Angela Zucconi e il Centro di Educazione Professionale per assistenti sociali (1949-1963)
2016
In questo articolo viene ricostruito l’impegno educativo e sociale di Angela Zucconi che, negli anni del secondo dopoguerra, fu coinvolta dai coniugi Calogero nella direzione del Cepas (Centro di Educazione Professionale per Assistenti Sociali). La sua proposta pedagogica, orientata a realizzare un’educazione degli adulti civica e comunitaria, faceva dell’assistente sociale un educatore che doveva possedere la qualità di un maestro capace di destare gli altri a se stessi, affinché si facessero interpreti della società in vista della sua trasformazione in una democrazia partecipata dal basso. This paper retraces the educational and social commitment of Angela Zucconi that, in the post-war pe…

Music teaching suggestions for working intercultural in secondary education: the pop music of miscegenation
2014
Este artículo tiene como objetivo principal mostrar cómo la clase de Música de Secundaria puede contribuir al desarrollo social y personal del educando en contextos pluriculturales, al tiempo que permite interiorizar conceptos puramente musicales. En este sentido, se muestran algunas de las actividades que se desarrollaron en diferentes cursos académicos en aulas de Secundaria de la Región de Murcia y de las Islas Baleares, con las que se pretendía garantizar la convivencia del alumnado y el establecimiento de lazos socio-afectivos que les llevasen a una positiva relación intercultural, siempre asegurando también el aprendizaje específico musical. Se consideró que debían revisarse las propu…
Nessuno resta indietro: La Bellezza del Service Learning
2021
La chiusura delle scuole che ha provocato un incremento significativo della povertà educativa ha sollecitato l’opportunità di pro-gettare interventi integrati di service learning per favorire il recupero e il potenziamento dei minori in difficoltà. 869 studenti del Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Scienze della Formazione Primaria dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo, sono stati coinvolti nella progettazione e nella realizzazione di percorsi didattici mirati, rivolti agli alunni “fragili” di 33 scuole palermitane. Complessiva-mente sono state erogate 60.000 ore in DAD di attività di recupero e di potenziamento dell’apprendimento di alunni della scuola primaria di Palermo. Le attività didatti…
Analyzing Online Social Support Networks. The Case of Italian Time Banks on Facebook
2019
With the advent of the Internet, social support has changed in nature and size, and new forms of social help have emerged, that reshaped the meaning of this concept. In the last years, social support has been mainly investigated within the theoretical framework of relational sociology, using network analysis techniques (Crossley, 2011; Donati, 2011; Mische, 2011; Tronca, 2013). An interesting expression of social support networks and civic engagement is the phenomenon of time banks that has had a broad diffusion in the mid-1990s, after important changes in postindustrial society. These organizations are now trying to exploit the potential of the Internet and social networking sites as a mea…
Impediments to localization agenda : humanitarian space in the Rohingya response in Bangladesh
2022
The article spotlights the impediments of the localization agenda in the Rohingya response in Bangladesh through the notion of humanitarian space. The Rohingyas rely entirely on material aid and humanitarian services in the camps, mainly stemming from international actors committed to the localization agenda, which, however, has not been effectively implemented. Drawing on the definition of humanitarian space as an arena, we investigate the main negotiations within humanitarian space in the Rohingya response and how they impede the realization of the localization agenda. We conducted secondary data analysis on reports published by organizations involved and validated the findings with ten t…
The usage of social media among young adults living in Nairobi, Kenya : only entertainment or contributions to societal change?
2015
Social media usage has been found to have increased all over the world, also in the so-called developing countries. Although the percentages are still rather low, it can be argued that the use of social media is becoming increasingly important also in African countries. Kenya has been found to be one of the leading countries regarding social media usage in East Africa. Although research on social media has been conducted, for instance, on the use of social media in protest movements and in the areas of users’ motivation, less emphasis has been placed on their developmental aspects. Thus, to gain a deeper understanding of the usage of social media in the so-called developing countries, this …
