Italian educational reforms and sustainability literature highlighted

Recent publications highlight developments in Italian education and environmental awareness. In the educational sector, an article by Loredana Perla and Maria Teresa Santacroce discusses the implementation of new national curriculum guidelines. The piece emphasizes that effective reform depends on a robust training infrastructure, including the first training plan developed by the Scuola di Alta Formazione dell’Istruzione (SAFI). This model integrates general theoretical training with specific paths for nursery, primary, and lower secondary schools, alongside specialized itineraries for school leaders.

In the realm of sustainability, the Associazione Ambiente e Lavoro ETS has launched a new column titled ‘Segnalibri sostenibili’ (Sustainable Bookmarks). Curated by Rossana Solimeo, the series uses literature as a starting point to explore contemporary environmental issues. The inaugural reflection is based on Stefano Mancuso’s book, ‘La versione degli alberi’, aiming to foster dialogue and collective reflection on a changing world.
