L’educazione in carcere costituisce un campo d’azione fondamentale negli ambiti dell’apprendimento permanente e dell’educazione inclusiva, obiettivi prioritari per una Learning City. Non è un caso che negli ultimi anni l’UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning abbia intensificato il suo impegno a supporto di programmi e iniziative per l’educazione delle persone detenute. Questo contributo intende offrire una riflessione originale sul tema prendendo in esame la città di Roma, la quale ha all’attivo diverse esperienze significative in questo campo. A una ricostruzione storiografica essenziale del diritto allo studio negli istituti penitenziari italiani seguirà l’illustrazione di un’indagine qualitativa su un progetto di educazione non formale gestito dalla Sovrintendenza ai Beni Culturali capitolina, in sinergia con il Servizio Civile Universale, sulla base delle testimonianze dei giovani volontari che hanno preso parte alle attività.

Abstract
Education in the penitentiary facilities plays a fundamental role in the fields of lifelong learning and inclusive education, both of which are priority purposes for a Learning City. In fact, in recent years, the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning has intensified its commitment to support programs and initiatives for the education of incarcerated individuals. This proposal aims to offer an original contribution on the subject examining the city of Rome, which has a number of significant experiences in this field. Following a brief historiographical reconstruction of the right to education in Italian penal facilities, the presentation will outline a qualitative study on a non-formal education project managed by the Cultural Heritage Superintendency, in synergy with the Universal Civil Service, including direct testimonies from the young volunteers who participated in the activities.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
