Oggi a scuola ci vai tu: children teach empathy

From school desks to the museum. The health emergency only momentarily stopped the initiatives of our project funded by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS) DISTINITI MA NON DISTANTI. Among these OGGI A SCUOLA CI VAI TU, a path that started from school desks between January and February 2020 and realised together with our friends and partners of the Explora museum.

Precisely the will to start again from the children and the even stronger need to deepen the concept of empathy in such a difficult moment characterised by distancing, has rewarded the will to confirm two great appointments (at the Explora Museum in Rome) initially planned for May, now scheduled for Saturday 20 and 27 June.

Saturday 20 June space for Segni Mossi, the project on movement and graphic sign for children and adults curated by Alessandro Lumare and Simona Lobefaro. An activity to mend distances by learning to observe the other and freeing creativity. From movement to graphic sign to return to movement in a dialogue between languages and emotions.

On 27 June space for MOTOREFISICO with the architects and designers Lorenzo Pagliara and Gianmaria Zonfrillo. An activity with games of lights and colours translated into drawings thanks to some wash tape: a new expressive art to decorate frames and invent new works letting oneself be inspired by the Explora window, set up by the artists on Monday 22 June.

The outdoor activities and the accesses to the museum will take place in safety, with limited accesses and following the interventions for sanitisation, following the internal protocols for employees and for visits, in respect of the guidelines of the Conference of the Regions and Autonomous Provinces, BUR Regione Lazio number 64 of 16/05/2020 and ISS Report COVID-19 n.20 of 8 May 2020. Reopening in safety

• 14:30 – 15:00
• 16:30 – 17:10
• 17:30 – 17:45

To complete the events, inside the Museum, for these two days with free entry, a cross-cutting activity for children from 3 to 11 years, to draw with movable type the expressions of the face and tell one's own emotions sharing them with parents.
