Only a few days left to enroll in the free offerings for schools and families, as well as the general public, provided by CICAPUI, in collaboration with the Iter Remida Center.

“With the start of the school year, as tradition dictates, we are inaugurating the 2023-2024 edition of ‘Growing in the City,’ the catalog of educational and training offerings from the City of Turin and ITER. ‘Growing in the City’ has been a cornerstone for Turin’s schools, as well as associations, universities, public and private entities, non-profit organizations, museums, and cultural institutions for decades. This year, it offers approximately 1300 activities (over 300 more than last year) catering to all age groups, from 0 years to adulthood. The ‘Growing in the City’ catalog is a collection of educational and training activities presented by the City of Turin and ITER at the beginning of each school year, targeting children, teenagers, adults, and students of all levels.”

FREE WORKSHOPS OPEN TO PRIMARY SCHOOLS

The AL CICAPUI ASD and APS association has been selected through a call for proposals by the Metropolitan City of Turin to present their laboratory activities within the multi-year project “Growing in the City.”

AL CICAPUI has submitted three types of co-designed and collaborative projects with the Creative Reuse Center Remida, located at Via Modena 35 in Turin, which specializes in repurposing and recycling end-of-life products. The projects offered by the association involve providing various categories with cost-free activities.

APPLIED ART AND HANDLING OF NOBLE REUSED MATERIALS – SUSTAINABLE CIRCULARITY LABORATORIES

Targeted audience: Primary schools, suitable for individuals with mild sensory/cognitive and motor disabilities. Objectives include integration, socialization, communication, sharing, learning through fun, and stimulating creativity as an emotional and expressive outlet through the creation of artistic artifacts. It also aims to practice manual skills by refining basic abilities.

WORKSHOPS OPEN TO FAMILIES, ADULTS, AND THE PUBLIC

Glass art course with a circular economy perspective – Glass re-creation for families and the public (workshop aimed at adults) not suitable for individuals with disabilities.
The innovative aspect of the proposal lies in approaching a traditional and specific art form like glass art, decontextualizing it, and transposing it onto repurposed materials to offer new expressive languages and new forms of working with glass materials from a sustainability and circular economy standpoint. This not only guarantees an immersive laboratory experience but also serves as a starting point for environmental education and creative use of processing waste.

Thanks to the collaboration network and the opportunity provided by the Metropolitan City of Turin, these workshops can be activated in the November-May 2023-2024 period.

WORKSHOPS FOR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS – EDUCATIONAL SERVICE CENTER (CE.SE.DI)

In addition to this opportunity, the association has been selected through a call for proposals to appear in the Regional School Catalog managed by the EDUCATIONAL SERVICE CENTER (CE.SE.DI.). This catalog offers various training opportunities for teachers and students to complement both curricular and extracurricular education, as well as tools for educational design and support services for educational autonomy. The catalog includes activities with no cost for teachers and others that require a reduced participation fee from participants. In some cases, course fees may also be paid through teacher cards.

All teacher training courses in the catalog are recognized for in-service training for school personnel, as the CE.Se.Di. was accredited by the Ministry of Education in 2020 in accordance with Directive 170/2016.

Registrations must be received by October 20, 2023, by completing the following online form

Finally, in addition to these opportunities, the AL CICAPUI association offers personalized creative-manual and artisanal workshop pathways for the 2023-2024 season at the co-working space at Piazza Vetta d’Italia. These pathways are tailored to the needs of those who wish to enroll.
