“I see, for example, that design excites above all when it is combined with topical issues, linked to life and real problems”, Caggiano continues. “Like the environment, the circular economy, new technologies and their impact on everyday life. On the other hand, when you go to old school methods you lose them immediately”.
All these problems, together with the reality of the DAD, are causing the teachers of all the Higher Education Artistic, Music and Dance schools (AFAM) to discuss. “I am participating in CIANS (Coordination of Non-State Afam Institutions) precisely on how to exploit smart schooling in a less academic perspective, to transform it from Distance Learning (DAD) to Integrated Digital Education (DDI)”.
It is not just a change of acronym: “it indicates, on the contrary, a change of perspective”, concludes Caggiano. The tomorrow to be built today is a new way of teaching, which respects and is in tune with the way our children learn”.
