Cinema & History 2016-2017
Beyond Eurocentrism
New Prospects for Dissemination and Teaching
From Monday 6 February 2017, the Pirelli Foundation will host a new series of meetings of the free Cinema & History 2016-2017 training and refresher course for teachers of primary and secondary schools of Lombardy Region.
The course, now in its fifth edition, is promoted by Fondazione ISEC and the Pirelli Foundation in collaboration with the Fondazione Cineteca Italiana. It examines the theme of Word History, which is highly topical in the world of history studies, bringing in the skills and knowledge for a global approach to history – in line with the educational content of our schools – offering a vision that goes beyond Eurocentrism. The programme for teachers consists of three lessons, an afternoon screening, and a final teaching workshop. Two film screenings, introduced by film history scholars, accompany the activities for teachers in the morning. They will also be open to the classes of students who may be interested. Registered teachers will be provided with teaching materials related to the course.
A certificate of attendance will be issued by Fondazione ISEC upon request.
Enrolment on the course is required. Please write to didattica@fondazioneisec.it by Monday 15 January 2017. Film screenings can also be booked for classes, while places last, by calling +39 0264423971 or by writing to schools@fondazionepirelli.org.
