The Cosmos: The Next Frontier. The Cinema & History course returns in 2024
Cinema & History, the free training and refresher course for secondary school teachers, is set to resume in February 2024. Now in its twelfth edition, it is promoted by the Pirelli Foundation and by Fondazione ISEC in collaboration with the Cinema Beltrade in Milan.
The Cosmos: The Next Frontier is the title of the new course which, in six online sessions, will investigate cosmic space: an other-worldly place, yet an age-old wellspring of inspiration for the most daring explorers, and one that is closer than ever and now within reach.
Countless intriguing questions are in search of answers. How has space become a factor in the geopolitical and strategic calculations of the great world powers? What impact did the launch of artificial satellites have on the processes of globalisation and on the rise to the infosphere that we live in today? In what words and forms has space influenced the world of literature, shaping the popular imagination of successive generations? Can we interweave the history of women’s struggles with that of the conquest of space? And lastly, what role does the Italian aerospace industry play in this unfolding adventure?
The five historical lessons will be accompanied by a series of films selected by Cinema Beltrade and there will be a cinema workshop to help teachers use the medium of film in the classroom.
Sessions are scheduled from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on the following dates:
Monday 19 February
Monday 26 February
Monday 4 March
Monday 11 March
Monday 18 March
Tuesday 26 March
Registration is free but required, and will be possible from 8 January. Please write to didattica2@fondazioneisec.it.
Places on the course are limited and registrations will be accepted in order of receipt.
The meetings will be held live on the Microsoft Teams platform.
