Le nuove emergenze educative, acuite dalla situazione pandemica, evidenziano la necessità di una pedagogia impegnata a costruire nuovi percorsi possibili di “cittadinanza sociale”, declinata nella sua complessità e multidirezionalità: da un lato come civicness, dall’altro come citizenship. Il dibattito sulla cittadinanza e sulle sue dinamiche educative va attualmente assumendo una vivace ripresa e un rinnovato interesse in Italia (L. 92/2019) dovuto a una diversità di ragioni, tra le quali hanno particolare rilievo, oltre al processo di globalizzazione e ai continui e consistenti flussi migratori, i rapidi e intensi cambiamenti avvenuti su scala geopolitica mondiale, la crisi delle ideologie, l’affiancarsi allo Stato nazionale di rapporti internazionali, di interdipendenza planetaria e di pluralismo culturale. Il compito della scuola, che è responsabilità dell’insegnante, si concentra sull’esercizio della cittadinanza e sulle attività-relazioni-legami sociali che esso implica, piuttosto che sull’aspetto di tipo giuridico-politico che è indicato nei documenti d’identità e che è regolato dalle leggi.

Abstract
The new educational emergencies, exacerbated by the pandemic situation, highlight the need for a pedagogy committed to building new possible paths of “social citizenship”, declined in its complexity and multidirectional: on the one hand as civicness, on the other as citizenship. The debate on citizenship and its educational dynamics is currently assuming a lively recovery and a renewed interest in Italy (L. 92/2019) due to a diversity of reasons, among which the rapid and intense changes that have occurred on a global geopolitical scale are of particular importance, in addition to the globalization process and the continuous and consistent migratory flows, the crisis of ideologies, the addition of international relations, planetary interdependence and cultural pluralism to the national state. The task of the school, which is the responsibility of the teacher, focuses on the exercise of citizenship and the activities-relationships-social ties that it implies, rather than on the juridical-political aspect that is indicated in the identity documents and that is regulated by the laws.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
