10th Edition of the Cinema & History Course
Now in its tenth edition, Cinema & History, the free online training and refresher course for secondary school teachers is about to start up again. Promoted by Fondazione ISEC and the Pirelli Foundation, it is being put on in collaboration with the Cinema Beltrade in Milan.
The course, entitled L’Italia tra declini e rinascite. Una storia economica (“Italy and its booms and busts – an economic history”) provides the tools needed to paint the full economic picture in educational courses. In a diachronic progression, from the Unification of Italy to the present day, the crucial turning points and themes in the Italian economy will be examined in connection with the way they have been shown in cinema.
Again this year, the five historical lessons will be accompanied by a number of films selected by Cinema Beltrade and, to help teachers use films for educational purposes, there will be a Cinema in the classroom workshop.
The meetings will all be held on Mondays, from 4 to 6 p.m., from 7 March to 11 April 2022.
Registration for the course is free but required. Please write to didattica@fondazioneisec.it by Monday, 28 February 2022. The meetings will be held live on the Microsoft Teams platform. For further information, please write to scuole@fondazionepirelli.org.
Places on the course are limited and registrations will be accepted on a first-come first-served basis.
