Abstract
This paper presents the results of a research-training program developed as part of the Con-tatto. Affective Education, Languages, and Cultures for Children project, promoted within the framework of the Third Mission and interinstitutional collaboration between universities, schools, and the local community. Through training workshops that intertwined narratives, echo-sonorities, body language, and reflective practices, the program embraced affectivity as a pedagogical tool for interpreting early childhood educational contexts and promoting processes of reflective re-signification of teaching professionalism in preschool and primary school. The notion of affective cartographies is proposed as an interpretive key aimed at making visible emotional experiences, languages of care, educational needs, and the specificities of the local area within which the experience takes shape. The analysis highlights how these devices contribute to strengthening a professional awareness capable of interpreting the complexity and heterogeneity of educational and scholastic contexts, relaunching a poetics of care as a pedagogical posture and generative matrix of educational action.
