Travels and Modernity: 11th Cinema & History course set to go
The training and refresher course for secondary school teachers is back. The 11th edition of Cinema & History, promoted by the Pirelli Foundation and the Fondazione ISEC, in collaboration with Cinema Beltrade, is devoted to the theme of travel. Always on the borderline between metaphor and reality, travel is replete with historical implications: from the Grand Tour to low-cost flights, from the exploration of Africa that accompanied the building of colonial empires to the great migratory flows across the centuries, through to the study tours of entrepreneurs.
And travel is not just about people, for also things and ideas move and interact, in an increasingly interconnected and globalised world.
The course is designed as a journey in five stages, linking history and cinema, and providing teachers with the tools they need to turn a theme that is often trivialised into an authentic experience, with a wealth of new stimuli and perspectives that will come out in the classroom activities.
To achieve this, the five historical sessions will be accompanied by a selection of films curated by the Cinema Beltrade. Finally, a workshop entitled “Travelling with Pygmalion – The Power of Moving Images” will help teachers use the films for educational purposes.
Registration for the course is free of charge but required. Please write to didattica2@fondazioneisec.it by Monday 13 February 2023. The meetings will be held live on the Microsoft Teams platform (we recommend you connect a few minutes early for technical tests if required).
Places on the course are limited and registrations will be accepted in order of receipt.

Join us on 20 February at 4 p.m.!
We look forward to seeing you.
