Gymnasium is a project that is always under constant development, integrating its own specificities and the specificities of the context in which it exists – the school – in order to be able to reflect and act on them.
This process of continuous and shared reflection and evaluation is fundamental to determine the activities to be held each year – always of exploratory and experimental nature, and aimed at children from 1st to 3rd cycle and, since 2023, also at secondary school students.
Its artistic and pedagogical programme includes proposals that address multiple languages and put children and youths in direct – and active – contact with different concepts, practices and creative universes, expanding their visions of the world(s) and stimulating in them the possibility of choosing and thinking according to their true subjectivity.
