Abstract:
After a historical reconstruction starting with Marshall McLuhan's contribution to the definition of a “city as a classroom” from lifelong education and the discourse on words and images in pedagogical media devices, the paper traces the pedagogical-educational foundations by which the conceptualization of Learning Cities by UNESCO was finally arrived at. The essay also analyzes the production of picturebooks in children's literature over the past 30-40 years with reference to narratives related to historical-natural heritage in the city of Rome. The last part focuses on the educational experimentation that took place within the framework of the PNRR CHANGES - Cultural Heritage Active Innovation for Sustainable Society - in collaboration between Roma Tre University and the elementary school Via Latina 303, adjacent to the Caffarella Park in the Capital. Focusing on rivers and specifically on the Almone, a tributary of the Tiber whose course has been diverted by anthropogenic activity, girls and children reflected on the importance of historical-environmental heritage, finally making the narrative of the experience of landscape education flow into a picturebook.
