Call for Proposal<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First National Conference<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embodiment and the Educating Community: Literature, Developments and Perspectives<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the seminars held, or scheduled to take place by May 2025, across Italy in collaboration with UNIPA, UNIBA, UNIPEGASO, UNIKORE, UNIMOL, UNIMC, UNIMORE, IUSVE and UNIBG, the series concludes with the First National Conference on Embodied Education (Schools and Local Communities), organised and promoted by the University of Cassino and Southern Lazio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference will feature two internationally renowned scientists: Professor Giacomo Rizzolatti, Emeritus Professor of Physiology at the University of Parma, speaking on mirror neurons and Embodied Education on the afternoon of Friday 20 June; and Professor Joseph LeDoux, Professor of Neural Science and Psychology at New York University, USA, delivering his keynote remotely on the afternoon of Saturday 21 June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who can submit<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universities and Research Centres: <\/em><\/strong>university lecturers, researchers, doctoral candidates and research fellows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conceptual framework<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a constantly changing society, where the pace of life is increasingly shaped by algorithmic procedures and the perceived need to use time productively, the concepts of education, teaching and school are becoming progressively more fluid. Educational institutions are increasingly called upon to focus less on transmitting content and knowledge and more on ways of being and becoming: being citizens of a world of endless possibilities, without being overwhelmed or constrained by assumptions suited less to a culturally globalised world than to an economically globalised market, where every component is necessary but not indispensable, useful yet replaceable. In this phase of the Anthropocene, marked by the growing presence of artificially intelligent machines, research and scholarly debate need new contributions that can clarify the place of humanity and the human, particularly as beings situated in and shaped by time. We can no longer confine ourselves to the online world:onlife<\/em> is already here (Floridi, 2016). From this perspective, research should focus less on the relationship technologies may establish with humans than on the relationship humans establish with technologies. The body acquires renewed centrality through neuroscience and the need for a new principle of ethics and responsibility (Jonas, 2014). We adopt Embodied Education (EE), particularly the Embodied Cognition paradigm, as a scientific lens for understanding embodiment as central to human cognition. Recognising the unique individuality of everyone involved, intentional teaching, research design and educational activities should be structured around inclusive thinking that embraces the full range of human conditions. An approach concerned with more than assistance: an existential<\/em>and substantive approach, attentive to each person\u2019s particular characteristics and explicitly open to everyone according to their possibilities. An educational design that is potentially<\/em> enabling, rather than rehabilitative or enabling in a narrow sense. We must be particularly careful to avoid a
Malthusian proliferation of teaching methods, whether or not they are based on AI, and instead promote situated, concrete, productive and open learning experiences in any context, informed by an understanding of
the deep connection between the functioning of the body\u2013brain system and our cognitive and social abilities. Those working in education must support learning while respecting each person\u2019s pace and characteristics, recognising learners as complex systems of meanings that acquire new meanings while
continually producing others. Ultimately, EE can situate learning within subjectivity, taking account of the spaces, times and relationships of educational settings in the light of the scientific, epistemological, social and anthropological changes we are experiencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
