HBU? - Photographic Exhibit
HBU Digital Friendship Exhibit 2018Like in previous years, our Italian high school students from the Associazione Italo Americana FVG were partnered with American photography and graphic design students at Abington Friends School in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania.
This year students were given the task of live chatting with their partners for 3 weeks in order to get to know each other as well as possible. Students then had to take a photograph and choose a quote in order to create a poster for their partner based on what learned about them. We hope our viewers enjoy both the images and inspirational words!
The same exhibit is displayed at the Abington Friends School in Pennsylvania.
The exhibit can be viewed for the entire month of MAY 2018. Here is a LINK to the posters made by the AIA FVG students.

a cura del Consolato USA a Milano e l'American Corner Trieste

Piazza Sant'Antonio Nuovo, 6 - Trieste
Ingresso Libero
Fabio Rocco e Luca Agostinetto sono tra i 5.000 professionisti che ogni anno partecipano al programma di scambio International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP), ideato e finanziato dall’Ufficio Educazione e Cultura del Dipartimento di Stato degli Stati Uniti d’America, nell’intento di far conoscere le migliori esperienze prodotte in questo paese sul fronte politico, economico, sociale, artistico.
Per tre settimane nell’estate 2017 Fabio Rocco e Luca Agostinetto, grazie all’esperienza IVLP condotta nelle scuole di Washington DC, Salt Lake City e Detroit, hanno potuto mettere a confronto le esperienze di integrazione dei ragazzi stranieri nelle scuole italiane e americane, sviluppando una riflessione approfondita sull’educazione come strumento per superare le ingiustizie sociali.
Su questa esperienza l’autore ha pubblicato on line una serie di 8 articoli apparsi su Education 2.0 (http://www.educationduepuntoz
L’incontro, aperto a tutti, è rivolto in modo particolare agli educatori, agli insegnanti e ai dirigenti scolastici che giornalmente operano all’interno del sistema scolastico italiano, e che potranno acquisire nuovi strumenti e nuovi punti di vista sull’integrazione degli studenti migranti, a partire dalle buone pratiche rilevate nel sistema scolastico americano.
International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP)
Tra coloro che hanno partecipato a questo programma, ci sono moltissimi capi di stato e di governo. Tra gli italiani, vogliamo ricordare tre Presidenti della Repubblica (Scalfaro, Cossiga e Saragat), quattro Presidenti del Consiglio dei Ministri (Mario Monti, Romano Prodi, Giovanni Goria e Giovanni Spadolin)
Fabio Rocco è maestro presso la scuola primaria Giovanni XXIII di Padova. Attraverso l'uso delle tecnologie digitali ha sperimentato metodologie di insegnamento innovative per favorire l'educazione interculturale e l'inclusione per gli studenti.
Ha collaborato alle pubblicazioni dei volumi in serie limitata Fogli di Viaggio e Viaggiare sui muri – Guarda oltre. Il suo lavoro è stato descritto in numerose riviste a tiratura nazionale e nel libro "La Scuola Salvata dai bambini" di Benedetta Tobagi. Collabora con il magazine online Education 2.0, e tra giugno e agosto 2017 ha pubblicato il Diario di Viaggio sull'esperienza IVLP negli USA.
Luca Agostinetto è ricercatore in Pedagogia generale e sociale presso il Dipartimento di Filosofia, Sociologia, Pedagogia e Psicologia applicata dell'Università di Padova, dove insegna Pedagogia interculturale e Pedagogia generale e sociale. Si occupa di formazione al lavoro educativo e consulenza pedagogica, operando nell’ambito scolastico, nei servizi educativi e negli enti pubblici, trattandoi temi della professionalità e progettualità educativa, dell'educazione interculturale e dei minori non accompagnati.
