What are
The Pathways for Transversal Skills and Career Guidance (formerly School-Work Alternation) represent an innovative educational approach that, through practical experience, helps consolidate the knowledge acquired at school and test students’ aptitudes in the field, enriching their education and guiding their academic and, in the future, professional path through projects aligned with their study plan.
Activities related to the PCTO (Paths for Transversal Skills and Career Guidance), mandatory for all students in the final three years of high school, including lyceums, are one of the most significant innovations of Law 107 of 2015 (The Good School) in line with the principle of the open school.
A cultural shift towards the construction of an Italian path to the dual system, which draws on good European practices, combining them with the specificities of the productive fabric and the Italian socio-cultural context.
REFERENCE LEGISLATION: Law 107 of 13/07/2015 – Charter of Rights and Duties – GUIDELINES (pursuant to Article 1, paragraph 785, of Law No. 145 of 30 December 2018)
PCTO Title: “Entering Outside to Discover Inside: A Journey towards Better Self-Knowledge, World Understanding, and Thinking in the World” Category: Arts and Humanities
Mode: In-Person
Path Details: The path consists of 5 teaching units, totaling 15 hours. Activities: include classroom lessons, planned educational visits, on-site meetings with experts, and workshops. The educational activity engages high school students, together with artists and professionals from the art world, through training workshops and creative improvisation. It aims to identify the expressive potential of each participant by exploring their relationship with “the other.” This interdisciplinary dynamic allows participants to challenge themselves through exercises, simulations, work in progress, and collective experiences to enhance each individual’s expressive creativity. It revolves around thematic exercises related to the concept of “vulnerability.” During the educational journey, participants can experiment on various levels, including visual and auditory elements, discovering new stimuli and communicative meanings to give voice and substance to our contemporary society.
Teaching Methodology: The methodology naturally incorporates problem-solving, learning by doing, cooperative learning, and role-playing, making it a valuable tool for acquiring skills applicable in the university and job market.
