The Fondazione Laboratorio
Mediterraneo in collaboration with the Department of
Psychology of the University of Turin organised a Master Course, reserved to
young people resident in Southern Italy.
A peculiarity of the Master-course is that of
supplying to human science researchers methodological and relational
instruments in order to intervene on social transformation processes of
groups/communities and the local authorities they work for.
The training project is destined to human sciences
graduates in order to increase their capability to analyse reality as a complex
phenomenon and to intervene through higher and more complex competences.
The Fondazione Laboratorio Mediterraneo, through
the School, intends to make its know-how
- about planning and activating dialogue and cultural interactions in the
Mediterranean - available to the empowerment process of cultural resources in
Southern Italy and to :
social transformation research and experiment
methodologies and instruments that allow a finer interpretation and
identification of the resources which can be activated in the Mezzogiorno region;
·
evaluate the strong points of communities;
·
favour the
interaction amongst research and training centres, academic and non-academic,
with the institutions and associations of the Civil Society;
·
promote social
wellbeing and human development in the individual-community interaction;
·
identify needs
and resources of Southern countries paying particular attention to the social
organisation of cities;
·
promote citizenship rights and active

·
reinforce
integrated strategies between universities, the world of employment and local
authorities for research and training;
·
intervene
in social transformation processes inter-relating ethical and cultural
traditions of the Mezzogiorno with the transformation
processes in a more global perspective of modern society.
The didactical objectives of the School are :
·
implement the capacity to read into individual and
collective needs;
·
