Il paesaggio si configura oggi come spazio complesso, plurale e relazionale, in grado di riflettere e condizionare la vita delle popolazioni che lo abitano. Da oggetto estetico, il paesaggio si trasforma in strumento di cittadinanza attiva e chiave interpretativa delle trasformazioni territoriali, capace di generare consapevolezza, partecipazione e responsabilità collettiva. La Convenzione Europea del Paesaggio riconosce il paesaggio come spazio di vita e bene comune, richiamando la necessità di sensibilizzazione e formazione per una sua tutela e gestione consapevole. In quest’ottica, l’educazione al paesaggio diventa un’occasione per affrontare temi complessi e interdisciplinari, promuovendo una cittadinanza attiva e critica capace di prendersi cura dei territori presenti e di progettare consapevolmente quelli futuri. Questa tesi si colloca all’interno del progetto In20amo il Paesaggio, promosso dall’Osservatorio Regionale del Paesaggio del Veneto e dal Dipartimento DiSSGeA dell’Università di Padova, rivolto alle scuole secondarie. L’elaborato si propone di analizzare criticità e potenzialità della proposta per la scuola secondaria di secondo grado attraverso questionari e interviste qualitative con docenti, al fine di sviluppare una nuova progettualità educativa per tale grado di istruzione. L’obiettivo è proporre percorsi educativi in cui il paesaggio diventi attivatore di cittadinanza e democrazia, rafforzando il ruolo della scuola nella costruzione di una consapevolezza paesaggistica diffusa e partecipata.

Abstract
Today, landscape is understood as a complex, plural, and relational space, capable of reflecting and shaping the lives of the populations inhabiting it. Moving beyond its aesthetic dimension, landscape becomes a tool for active citizenship and a key for interpreting territorial transformations, fostering awareness, participation, and collective responsibility. The European Landscape Convention recognises landscape as a living space and a common good, emphasising the need for education and awareness to ensure its conscious protection and management. In this perspective, landscape education becomes an opportunity to address complex and interdisciplinary issues, promoting active and critical citizenship capable of caring for present territories and consciously designing future ones. This thesis is developed within the framework of In20amo il Paesaggio, a project promoted by the Veneto Regional Landscape Observatory and the Department of Historical, Geographical, and Antiquity Sciences (DiSSGeA) at the University of Padua, addressed to secondary schools. The research aims to analyse the strengths and weaknesses of the proposal for upper secondary schools through questionnaires and qualitative interviews with teachers, with the goal of developing a new educational design for this school level. The objective is to propose educational pathways in which landscape becomes a driver for citizenship and democracy, strengthening the role of schools in building widespread and participatory landscape awareness.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
