The purpose of this article is to present the value and effectiveness of teaching artistic languages to students, particularly in multicultural contexts. The article will first address the role of direct experience, specifically the way in which emotions and movement contribute to the development of awareness. Taking into account recent developments in the field of neuroscience, this article will underline how artistic workshops prepare students for both general and cross disciplinary learning. This article will also address the strong connection between artistic workshops and the development of skills, specifically life skills, as defined by the World Health Organization. To better convey the positive impact of artistic workshops on self-esteem and participation, I have also included excerpts from interviews with teachers and artists, carried out over the course of my doctoral research. The collaboration between the Civico Zero initiative carried out by Save the Children and the MAXXI Museum Department of Education for the benefit of MSNA, provides evidence that students can relate to works of art and through that relationship, explore their personal histories.
Il presente articolo si propone di mostrare i motivi che rendono l’uso dei linguaggi espressivi particolarmente efficace per l’apprendimento in generale e in contesti multiculturali in particolare. A partire dal ruolo dell’esperienza diretta, delle emozioni e del movimento per lo sviluppo della conoscenza, tenendo conto anche delle recenti teorie nel campo delle neuroscienze, viene sottolineato come i laboratori artistici abbiano un valore propedeutico all’apprendimento delle diverse discipline ed educativo in senso lato. Viene inoltre messa in risalto la relazione tra l’arte, praticata all’interno dei laboratori e molte delle competenze identificate dall’Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità in collegamento alle life skills (Danish et al., 1993; Gould e Carson, 2008; Goudas, 2010). Per meglio trasmettere l’idea delle ricadute dei laboratori espressivi sull’autostima e la partecipazione, vengono inoltre riportate alcune testimonianze di insegnanti e artisti intervistati dalla sottoscritta nell’ambito di una ricerca di dottorato mentre, per quanto riguarda la capacità di prendere spunto dalle opere d’arte per creare un legame con le storie personali dei fruitori, si fa riferimento all’esperienza di collaborazione tra il progetto Civico Zero di Save the Children rivolto ai MSNA e il Dipartimento Educazione del MAXXI.

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to present the value and effectiveness of teaching artistic languages to students, particularly in multicultural contexts. The article will first address the role of direct experience, specifically the way in which emotions and movement contribute to the development of awareness. Taking into account recent developments in the field of neuroscience, this article will underline how artistic workshops prepare students for both general and cross disciplinary learning. This article will also address the strong connection between artistic workshops and the development of skills, specifically life skills, as defined by the World Health Organization. To better convey the positive impact of artistic workshops on self-esteem and participation, I have also included excerpts from interviews with teachers and artists, carried out over the course of my doctoral research. The collaboration between the Civico Zero initiative carried out by Save the Children and the MAXXI Museum Department of Education for the benefit of MSNA, provides evidence that students can relate to works of art and through that relationship, explore their personal histories.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
