SUMMARY 

  This is to try to give  life to the idea of revisiting the works of Danilo Dolci through the collections of data and the construction of interrelations in the web, forming an informative archive on the life, testimonies, written works and memories of Danilo Dolci, “the poet, educator and sociologist” – “The Socratic Laboratory of Danilo Dolci”

 EDUCATIVE INTRODUCTION

 In the ever-conflicting world where “others” different or diverse from us,keeps pouring more and more on our geographical horizon and culturally destabilizing the certainty of our attitudes and cultural traditions, it is necessary to look into, again, the concepts of:

 ecumenism, relations, living together, legality, peace, democracy, nationalism, individualism, intolerance, prejudices, illegality, violence, racism…

 in confrontation  with eye-opening testimonies

The works of Danilo Dolci belong to the inalienable order of that spiritual economy that connects the Great Men in our history, commencing from Danilo’s experiences – a Northerner transplanted in Sicily alongside the farmers of Partinico, his indomitable passion for civil liberty, his concern   for the weakest and the defenceless. 

To stimulate better a creative active participation on the subject, it is indispensable the use of didactical multimedia means in its fundamental role that students may construct in themselves the modes, the contents and the logical flow of knowledge. 

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

As the new computer laboratory will be ready, April 2002 we hope, we’ll begin the basic training lessons

on the computer usage , moving then into  the Word  processing spreadsheet.The next step will see  the acquisition of images with the scanner and the digital camera, the digitalisation and the printing.

We’ll move then to internet, the html ,the preparation of a web page and the writing of a CD.

The last part of the program will cover Access.

The full program will last for ten months, covering two scholar years.

In parallel , as the students gain the required knowledge, they will put it in practice ,acquiring the material

written by Danilo Dolci ,printing it and adding information to the new digital archive .

The school G.B.Grassi Privitera host 600 students.

As we would like to have a full and better usage of the HP equipment,we’ll organize also evening sessions for adults on the Computer usage.

We’ll receive support from “On line with…”, the Association “Centro per lo sviluppo creativo “,under  the technical supervision of the National Research Center –ITDF of Palermo.
