The school area of Fondazione Golinelli aims to educate young people by providing them with the most useful tools to look to the future with confidence and guide them in a complex and unpredictable world. From this perspective, it offers scientific and experiential workshops, interdisciplinary educational courses, educational activities and innovative projects in education, teacher training and scientific communication for students and teachers across all levels.

As a result of government measures to contain Coronavirus and to address new educational needs, the educational and training proposition have been reformulated for successful online use by teachers and classrooms.

Educational and training proposals are strongly characterized by the focus on innovation and digital teaching, the development of new knowledge, skills, and the experimentation of innovative methodologies, as well as the quality of scientific content and the collaboration with partners and research institutes for special projects in which school and work are closely linked.

Three themes to explore: the combination of science and digital technologies; education in entrepreneurship as a bridge between the world of school and work; dialogue between art, science, and technology, fostering a fertile ground to imagine the future.

Presentation

Objectives

Through its educational activity, Fondazione Golinelli aims to promote scientific education and creativity in children, bringing girls and boys closer to science and technology through direct experimentation by fostering entrepreneurship, interdisciplinarity and innovation. In addition, it promotes the orientation and training of students by organizing certifiable projects in acquiring core skills, with guidance and ad hoc training courses on entrepreneurship on how to apply these cross competencies. To support educational innovation, Fondazione Golinelli engages and trains thousands of teachers from all over Italy every year with the aim of promoting interactive and participatory teaching to innovate "schooling”.

Methodology

Fondazione Golinelli experiments with innovative methodologies, working to combine three useful elements for the professional, human, and intellectual growth of younger generations.

The first element is the knowledge concerning all the scientific content on which educational proposals are based on. The second element is know-how, that is, the experiential component that passes through laboratory experiments and the use of new technologies. The third element is knowing how to be, that is, the soft skills that each of us began forming in childhood and that must be cultivated in order to successfully face the work world.

G-LAB

To reach students and teachers all across Italy, G-LAB, the operational arm of Fondazione Golinelli that enhances and spreads its experience was established in 2018.

G-LAB offers both scientific and interdisciplinary educational activities, including online laboratories, aimed at schools of all levels. In addition, it develops detailed educational projects that complement teacher training, which can be adapted, on request, according to the special needs of each school as well as to the management of COVID-19 containment.
