Calcio: educazione, conoscenza, etica

The course, with internationally renowned teachers and cutting-edge teaching methods, aims to enrich the personal and professional training of interlocutors who in various ways are interested in football by updating on the knowledge and skills that the "new sciences of the mind" - from philosophy to psychology, from pedagogy to neuroscience - and the sciences of complex systems make available today. In particular, we will focus on the practical consequences of the so-called "motor paradigm", the theoretical horizon disclosed by the philosophy of embodiment for which our mind, far from being something separate from the body, is deeply rooted in species-specific characteristics of the body we have and above all in its sensory and motor skills.

The training course also intends to ennoble football as an object that is not only of flag passions or of “bar” discussions, and on which critical thinking and a real education of the aesthetic gaze can be exercised . That critical exercise on our prejudices and on the deep values ​​that are explicitly and implicitly at stake when it comes to football or when it is practiced is worth an assumption of moral responsibility for ourselves and towards others.
