As part of the exhibition Territori di sguardi e di parole. Paesaggi, storie, immagini della Svizzera italiana, the Cultural Observatory of the Canton of Ticino (OC), in collaboration with the Istituto Internazionale di Architettura, presents an afternoon of information and training.

The event is aimed primarily at primary school teachers in the Lugano area and offers a privileged opportunity to discover the Literary Guide of Italian-speaking Switzerland and its potential in educational contexts.

During the afternoon, educational pathways designed and tested by secondary school and vocational training teachers will be presented as concrete examples of how the Guide's materials can be used in the classroom. The event will also offer the opportunity to explore itineraries particularly suited to primary schools and to learn how to make them accessible on digital devices.
The initiative aims to stimulate new ways of looking at the territory through literature and the storytelling of places.
