Media, Identity and Active Citizenship: Enhancing Media Literacy Education Through TV Series

The project aims to analyze and enhance skills in media and digital language among high school students in San Marino. In the current era of streaming, adolescents are among the main users of media products such as TV series and teen dramas, which profoundly influence the perception of identity, relationships and emotions. Recent studies, such as those on embodied simulation and neuroscience applied to cinema (Gallese and Guerra 2015) highlight the impact of such products on emotions and relational dynamics. Furthermore, media literacy is recognized as a crucial skill for active citizenship, according to the indications of the Sammarinese School (DD n. 169/2021).

The educational dimension of theatrical practice in the San Marino reality: between history, project and community

Little has so far been done to recover the history and above all the impact that theatrical activities have had on civil life in San Marino over the last fifty years with particular attention to the relationship and intersection between theatre/society, where the theater has established itself as a space of development and intervention in community life. For this reason it is considered essential to start an analysis of the activities managed by the DSU in collaboration with the Cultural Institutes - Performing Arts Section, even those which involved schools.
