Through the arts: education and future is the title-theme of the international conference organized by Teatro Due Mondi as final event of the Erasmus KA2 European project TOTO - Teachers of tomorrow project, co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
TOTO was aimed at an international group of teachers and trainers from the partners' Countries working with people of different ages, geographical origins and socio-economic conditions.
In the last three years, it has networked the Institute of Technology (ITT) in Tralee, Ireland, the Fondazione Fazio-Allmeyer in Palermo, Italy, the Teatro Due Mondi in Faenza, Italy, the Volkshochschule (VHS) Simmering in Wien, and the VHS Pforzheim-Enzkreis in Germany (project leader).
The conference was divided into two complementary moments, the first of which took place on last 29 April at the Casa del Teatro in Faenza (in attendance).
Guest of honour, the poet and writer Bruno Tognolini, who amused and moved the audience with poems, nursery rhymes and stories of his many experiences with childhood and presenting, among other things, a project of collection of nursery rhymes said by girls and boys from all over Italy and the world – a sound archive kept and enhanced in and by the Sala Borsa Library in Bologna.
The second appointment is on Saturday May 28th, live streamed on the Teatro Due Mondi’s social channels (09:30 am to 06:30 pm CEST).
Forty guest speakers –Italian and European artists, professors, scholars, and cultural professionals, moderated by critic and scholar of theatre, dance and visual arts Michele Pascarella, will begin to establish a first large, proteiform observatory on practices and knowledge about the multiple relationships between arts, education and the future.
