Each year the Educational Department of Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo offers a program for high schools, to help students get acquainted with ideas, metaphors, symbols and codes of the contemporary art world, which can provide food for thought and new ways of looking at the world.
The collaboration program includes seven meetings for each class, and a final session to present and share results with the public of the Foundation.
The aim is to experience the exhibiting spaces as informal places of learning, and the works of art as physical and mental spaces for communication.
In the itinerary, participants aided by Foundation staff plan an interactive tour for the public (readings of literary texts and of original works, games, performance actions, music…). Some of the works selected by students become as many stations in the public tour, in which students themselves guide friends, relatives and schoolmates through the exhibition, giving their own reading of each work and discussing different points of view.
Numbers: an average of 3000 students per school year
Target: junior and senior high school students
Duration: yearly (school year)
