The role of third cultural spaces in territorial educational pacts.
Towards a pedagogy of reconciliation in the territories of small schools.
Mangione, G.R.J., Chipa, S., Cannella, G.
In this paper, the INDIRE research group aims to understand how the “educational community pact” is a device that allows schools to extend themselves by making use of third educational spaces such as museums, libraries, open-air theatres. Starting from a training experience in which more than 1200 teachers took part, it is possible to analyse the role of third spaces through the analysis of the pacts shared by schools. The methodology is based on an interpretative research, based on a structured analysis of secondary documents, about 130 educational pacts collected within the Small Schools Movement and the training actions proposed to teachers.
