Nursery schools
We guide children in the process of creating their own meanings, rooting their own identities and making their first friendships. Nature, exploration and technology are at the heart of our curriculum which follows the guidelines on Outdoor education.

Il Trenino

The school accommodates 25 boys and girls between the ages of 3 and 5.

In our educational programme, tablets, cameras, and PCs go together with brushes, markers, paper and scissors. We create workshops in which digital devices are tools that support the natural desire for exploration and curiosity.

Workshops for parents

We organise thematic workshops for parents. These cycles of meetings have different areas of focus: rhythm and afro dances, baby yoga, creativity, etc. They’re developed with the aim of creating shared moments between babies and their parents. We also offer meetings for new mothers and their babies; precious spaces for discussion, support and socialisation. The first months of life for a newborn are indeed characterised by varying emotions and questions that should be shared.

School support

The educators in our school support service work to teach kids the importance of rules, to accompany them in the construction of their own identities and to promote their physical and emotional well-being. Our approach is customised; objectives are designed according to each individual and their specific needs.

Interculturality and teaching Italian as a second language

Being intercultural means fostering engagement between people through discussion and the sharing of ideas and worldviews. The objective of interculturality is to enhance everyone’s individuality and create a truly inclusive way of perceiving reality. Our L2 workshops for international participants are designed with interculture in mind; in addition to teaching the language, we aim to facilitate intercultural encounters and exchange.

Workshops for children and adolescents

Legality projects

Educating for legality means fostering action and awareness. It means offering tools to interpret and read the complex phenomena that are structural in our country: mafias, corruption, environmental crime and drug trafficking. Our projects and workshops aim to boost the many good practices that, in different areas, work against criminal and mafia organisations.

Il Paese delle Meraviglie (Wonderland)

We promote the educational participation of students in secondary schools in Bologna. Our aim is to provide tools that help prevent the use and abuse of legal and illegal substances, technology, and gambling.
