Obiettivi formativi

Gli obiettivi sono due, fra loro complementari:
• Acquisire strumenti concettuali e analitici per lo studio dei processi di governance locale, in Europa e in Italia, con particolare attenzione alle esperienze di innovazione sociale finalizzate all’inclusione
• Individuare una cassetta degli attrezzi di base per progettare l’innovazione sociale

Contenuti sintetici

a) Teorie e ricerche su due campi tematici: la governance locale; l’innovazione sociale
b) Esercitazioni sull’analisi di esperienze di innovazione sociale

Programma esteso

Governance e innovazione sociale sono “concetti ombrello”, che includono fenomeni e prospettive eterogenee e non sempre coerenti fra loro.
La prima parte del corso è dedicata alla sistematizzazione delle questioni concettuali e analitiche relative ai due temi, per orientarci nell’amplissimo dibattito che su di essi si è sviluppato negli ultimi anni.
La seconda parte approfondisce le ricerche sull’innovazione sociale condotte negli ultimi decenni in Italia e in Europa, facendo riferimento in particolare ai processi innovativi intrapresi nell’ambito del welfare urbano.
La terza parte, infine, prevede l’approfondimento di alcuni casi, anche con visite in loco, e l’individuazione di alcuni criteri di progettazione dell’innovazione sociale.

Prerequisiti

Padronanza delle conoscenze teoriche e metodologiche di base, buone capacità di apprendimento, di scrittura e comunicazione orale.

Metodi didattici

Il corso si svolge in presenza. Il corso si avvale in modo significativo di una didattica interattiva (esercitazioni in aula, discussione di papers, draft di progetti di ricerca etc.)

Modalità di verifica dell'apprendimento

Per gli studenti frequentanti è prevista una tesina
Per gli studenti non frequentanti è prevista una prova orale

Learning objectives

Training objectives
There are two objectives, complementary to each other:
• Acquire conceptual and analytical tools for the study of local governance processes, in Europe and in Italy, with particular attention to social innovation experiences aimed at inclusion
• Identify a basic toolbox for designing social innovation

Contents

a) Theories and research on two thematic fields: local governance; social innovation
b) Exercises on the analysis of social innovation experiences

Detailed program

Governance and social innovation are "umbrella concepts", which involve heterogeneous phenomena and perspectives that are not always coherent with each other.
The first part of the course is dedicated to the systematization of the conceptual and analytical issues relating to the two themes, to orient ourselves in the broad debate that has developed on them in recent years.
The second part delves into the research on social innovation conducted in recent decades in Italy and Europe, referring in particular to the innovative processes undertaken in the context of urban welfare.
Finally, the third part involves the in-depth analysis of some cases, including with on-site visits, and the identification of some social innovation design criteria.

Prerequisites

Prerequisites
Mastery of basic theoretical and methodological knowledge, good learning, writing and oral communication skills.

Teaching methods

Teaching methods
The course takes place in person. The course makes significant use of interactive teaching (classroom exercises, discussion of papers, drafts of research projects, etc.)

Assessment methods

For attending students, a thesis is expected
For non-attending students, an oral test is scheduled
