QUALITY 'OF CULTURAL TERRITORIES
The territory is place of contradictions and conflicts , but also of sharing and participation. E 'in the territory, in fact, that threatens to unravel the relationship of trust between people, making it uncertain and distrustful relationship with the neighbor.
But the territory is also the place of the new . E 'in the territory that the work, social relations, environmental quality, participation is measured with the challenges of our time.
is the place of selfishness and aggression to the environment, but also care and social cohesion against individualism. The territory is now also the site of the protagonist against the backdrop of globalization, local development, identity, the drift of the premises, the possible roots of volunteering as an expression of a new type of political commitment.
An area so it is not reducible to the reading of the environmental indicators or the quality of services or settlements. It 'a body that produces culture or impoverished. In the area expressed the connective tissue of a community and an environment. In short, the common ground, create learning provides information, change attitudes and behaviors changed as well, of course, from the politics. The area educates. Or inappropriate .
The cultural quality is therefore not given automatically by the level of qualifications (although this may be an index), but the network of expertise, facilities and services which people access and level of use of this network, to continue to learn. You need to rebuild ambient intelligence networks of knowledge and skills that allow an adequate quality of life.
This seems to be the challenge for the immediate future, the collection also document the national congress of Legambiente non-profit organization: to build more cultivated areas.
here to play the role of schools, education and knowledge. The school must be able to "tell" the territory of what education is something harmful. Serves, the school is not left alone. You first need to relaunch the challenge of education for adults, but not all. Serve regional educational centers (CEA, regional workshops, etc.)., libraries, museums, theaters, movies, conferences, internet point, networks, such as opportunities for social and cultural make real participatory processes.
From here, the challenge Legambiente will do to local communities, from school.
Here are some activities that the area of \u200b\u200bEducation is proposing Legambiente Lombardia in schools.

" HARRY POTTER AND THE FIVE MAGIC WAND TO KNOW BETTER OUR COMMON
The lesson is aimed at elementary school children. The overall objective is to help children to read and interpret the complexity of where they live, through a conceptual reorganization. In particular, the lesson is to:
a) make children more aware of where they live, its merits and its defects;
b) giving children some pictures and any ideas to express pros and cons of where they live;
c) give children some ideas to imagine a city suitable for children
d) set the stage for a speech class on the reality that is around
" of you know Harry Potter?". A forest of raised hands waving in the classroom. Desire to explain that they have seen the movie, read the books (or if the facts are read by parents or siblings), they even have a video game of Harry Potter, someone's glasses as he or other gadgets. We broke the ice. Harry Potter allows me to Crerar few minutes in a doorway. It 'nice to have books in common, it helps to understand each other!
I used Harry Potter the same way in which Perseus used the shield to kill Medusa. The myth says that no one could look directly into the eyes of Medusa without being turned to stone, but without looking at how to kill her in the eye? The wily Perseus had a brilliant idea (simple solutions are always brilliant!) Took the shield that Athena had given him and, looking at the reflected image of Medusa on the shield, he kills. Harry Potter was for me the shield is hard in two hours I managed to speak to the complexity of the world around children with a direct approach to the topic.
