La cittadinanza europea pone un problema definitorio: lo status di cittadino europeo dipende dall'essere cittadini di uno degli stati membri dell'UE. Tale dipendenza, che determina un legame di sovrapposizione, tende a mascherare la differenza delle due forme di cittadinanza. Il sentimento di appartenenza nazionale prevale, da un punto di vista soggettivo, rispetto alla comune appartenenza europea. Mediante un'analisi sociologica relazionale di stampo storico-culturale verranno individuati i caratteri peculiari della cittadinanza europea. L'affermazione positiva e non meramente suppletiva della cittadinanza europea, identifica un'identità collettiva connessa in modo inscindibile alle singole identità nazionali e ispirata da un «modello riflessivo» capace di accogliere in sé l'estraneo. L'analisi relazionale sarà poi integrata dallo studio delle rappresentazioni sociali che compongono la narrazione giornalistica italiana. Verranno analizzati gli articoli pubblicati nell'ultimo quarantennio da alcuni dei principali quotidiani nazionali («Corriere della Sera», «la Repubblica», «La Stampa»), giungendo a una sintesi concettuale dei patterns argomentativi predominanti che disegnano i contorni della cittadinanza europea nel contesto italiano. Lo studio della comunicazione giornalistica non si riduce a una descrizione quantitativa della ricorrenza con cui le tematiche europee vengono proposte nella stampa nazionale ma, attraverso un approfondimento contenutistico delle informazioni riportate nel corpo degli articoli, tenta di determinare quale rappresentazione del cittadino europeo viene veicolata dai media. L'intento del presente studio è quello di comprendere il substrato meta-concettuale che consente ai cittadini di relazionarsi alle istituzioni europee, dando forma a quel «senso di appartenenza» nodale per la realizzazione di un assetto governativo realmente democratico. ; European citizenship poses a definitory problem: the status of European citizen depends on being citizens of one of EU member states. This dependence, which determines a relationship of superposition, tends to mask the difference of the two forms of citizenship. The sense of national membership prevails, from a subjective point of view, with respect to the common membership of the EU. Through relational sociological analysis of historical and cultural mold, will locate the specific characteristics of European citizenship. The positive affirmation of European citizenship identifies a collective identity inseparably linked to the individual national identity, inspired by a «reflective model» capable of embracing the extraneous. Relational analysis will then be supplemented by the study of social representations that make up the Italian journalistic narrative. It will be analyzed articles published in the last four decades by some of the major national newspapers («Corriere della Sera», «La Repubblica», «La Stampa»), reaching a conceptual synthesis of the predominant argument patterns that draw the contours of European citizenship in the Italian context. The study of journalistic communication it is not reduced to a quantitative description of the recurrence wherewith European issues are proposed in the national press but, through a detailed study of the information contained in the body of articles, tries to determine which representation of the European citizen is conveyed by the media. The aim of the present study is to understand the meta-conceptual substrate which allows citizens to relate to European institutions, giving shape to that «sense of membership» nodal for the realization of a truly democratic governmental structure.

This paper investigates the conditions for the implementation of the Europe 2020 strategy. The overall situation of the states belonging to the European Union presents many differences, determined by demographic, social, productive and economic changes. Moreover, every Country organizes its own welfare by grounding it on deeply-rooted and hardly equitable traditions.However, there is a hard push towards a unified model of "active welfare state" that is not centered on relief but on individual responsibility and remunerated employment. Such feature would act as a guarantee of its correct functioning, thus responding to the changing competitive balance determined by the process of globalization and the internationalization of markets, as well as by deep changes involving factors such as production systems, labour market, family structure, and demographics. The eventualsynergy between the "active welfare state" and the strategy advocated by Europe 2020 for a "smart," "sustainable," and "inclusive" growth, could pivot on lifelong learning provided to the active citizenship by encouraging the empowerment of individuals. The perspective, within which this latter improvement is achieved, draws on equality and parity, hence subtracting knowledge and learning from being manipulated by profit-making togetherwith vicious solidarity and social ties with the rules of market economy. ; L'articolo si interroga sulle condizioni per la realizzazione della strategia di Europa 2020. La situazione complessiva degli stati appartenenti all'unione presenta non poche difformità, determinate dalle trasformazioni demografiche, sociali, produttive ed economiche. Ogni nazione, inoltre, organizza il proprio welfare anche in base a tradizioni radicate e difficilmente omologabili.Tuttavia, vi è una importante spinta verso un modello unitario di stato sociale attivo – active welfare state – centrato non sull'assistenza ma sulla responsabilità individuale e sull'occupazione retribuita, come garanzia del suo funzionamento, in risposta ai mutati ...

This paper defends the functional theory of citizenship on the grounds of the conceptual map of contemporary models of citizenship that I have developed elsewhere. I address three different types of criticisms. First, the focus is on the arguments of those who believe the legal model of citizenship needs to be abandoned or rejected all together. Several reasons against this suggestion are highlighted. Second, a short discussion follows of some points made by those contributors to this volume who instead think that the legal model should be not be rejected, but that it still needs to be amended or requires development to fit contemporary migration patterns. Finally, I address the criticisms of those who believe the whole enterprise of developing a general theory of citizenship is flawed since there would be no concept of citizenship independently of political contingencies.

The extremism of individualism, uncontrolled globalization, social-economic inequality and the informative overdose which we continually come across, have lead to a crisis of political representation which has given birth to an uncontrolled spreading of populism and royalism which has resulted in anti-systemic methods which generate a condition of the pulverization of society. It is important to say that the democratic Ethos as it is understood is a real cultural fact which goes beyond the political sphere alone. Here we find the intense role of the school which, being an intentionally formative agency, has to take on the job of implementing and spreading education towards and for democracy To this end, the European Council deems citizenship education fundamental when it comprises the four Cs of learning: critical thinking, creativity, communication and collaboration. It is therefore necessary to look towards the realization of formative routes founded on didactic models which aim at the acquisition of knowledge and essential abilities, learning towards the reaching of those basic competences which allow a person to become an active citizen with a wide and transversal dimension able to understand, evaluate and make decisions in a selfmade, critical, responsible and solidarity way. ; L'estremizzazione dell'individualismo, la globalizzazione incontrollata, le di-seguaglianze socio-economiche e l'overdose informativa a cui siamo sotto-posti continuamente hanno condotto ad una crisi della rappresentanza politica sfociata nella diffusione incontrollata di populismi e sovranismi che si affermano come metodi antisistema che generano una condizione di pol-verizzazione della società. Diventa cogente affermare il senso dell'Ethos democratico inteso come vero e proprio fatto culturale che travalica la sola sfera politica. Entra in campo prepotentemente il ruolo della scuola che, in quanto agenzia intenzionalmente formativa, deve assumere il compito di im-plementare e diffondere l'educazione alla e per la democrazia. A tal ...

Thanks to a line of research and intervention named Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC), the European Union has been stressing for a long time that parents should be supported when acting their educative role and, thus, take full responsibility for the functions related to it. In fact, they ought to be considered a crucial resource for the education of the "citizens of tomorrow".Within this perspective, we present a section of the results that were obtained in a pilot project meant for the support of reflexive parenting. Such pilot project is included in the wider European Project ALICE – Adults Learning for Intergenerational Creative Experiences. Among its goals, it lists the training of adults interested in interacting with children through informal languagesand creative languages, with the dual purpose of (a) promoting andstrengthening in them the acquisition of skills that will improve the effectiveness of education in an intergenerational perspective and (b) increase the awareness about the importance of their role as educators for the purposes of developing, in the new generations, citizenship skills and social cohesion. ; Da lungo tempo l'Unione Europea, attraverso una linea di ricerca e intervento chiamata Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC), ha enfatizzato la necessità di sostenere i genitori nell'interpretazione del loro ruolo educativo e nel farsi appieno carico della responsabilità che le funzioni correlate alla genitorialitàeducativa comportano, precisamente perché sono da considerarsi larisorsa cruciale per l'educazione dei "cittadini del domani". Entro tale prospettiva, presentiamo parte dei risultati ottenuti in un progetto pilota a sostegno della genitorialità riflessiva che è incluso nel più vasto Progetto Europeo ALICE – Adults Learning for Intergenerational Creative Experiences. Il progetto pilota contempla, tra i suoi obiettivi, la formazione di adulti interessatia interagire con bambini attraverso linguaggi creativi e informali, con il duplice scopo di (a) promuovere e ...

The article proposes two anthropological movements as guidelines for an education in democratic citizenship more capable of overcoming reductionisms and trivializations: a return to oneself, suggested by Hannah Arendt and a movement towards others, suggested by Edgar Morin. The text also takes the opportunity to formulate a reflection on the relevance of the global educational challenge of compulsory schooling for the construction of a more sensitive and open humanity. ; L'articolo propone due movimenti antropologici quali orientamenti per un'educazione alla cittadinanza democratica più capace di superare riduzionismi e banalizzazioni: un ritorno verso se stessi, suggerito da Hannah Arendt e un movimento verso il prossimo, suggerito da Edgar Morin. Il testo coglie altresì l'occasione per formulare una riflessione circa la rilevanza della sfida educativa globale della scuola dell'obbligo per la costruzione di un'umanità più sensibile ed aperta.

The human being develops thanks to her relationship with their conspecifics.Thanks to this relation, she obtains a given cultural heritage andacquires her own identity, thus differentiating herself and finding her own space of freedom and autonomy that enables her to interact and extend her own network of relations. This process of reciprocity allows the human being to realize herself as conscious member of a "social body," namely a radical society within an organic human context—a context that has nowadays become global, as a consequence of new migratory fluxes and of newly increasing economic inter-dependence.Education is a thread in human civilization and makes it possible to transform the spaces where anonymity, fear, consumerism, prejudice, haste, indifference, subjugation, insecurity and solitudes take place. As a consequence of transformation, these spaces become characterized by acceptance, trust, sharing, safety, friendship, kinship. The models of political education that used to prevail are the following ones: the academic model—in which a huge amount of notions are debated and explained—and the laboratory model—which bends towards operational politics, by making use of workshops and simulations.It is now widespread the social need to provide everybody—and young people in particular—with foundational socio-political information and with evaluative tools that are historically well-established. These latter instruments should allow for a comparison of different socio-political traditions and frameworks, thus stimulating a renewed commitment that is consciousof the increasing difficulties faced when implementing policies. It isnecessary to found again a political culture and provide it with a new direction— for example, by matching ideals and administrative experience and by supporting it through a dynamic reflection that is open and capable of understanding the current events. ; L'essere umano si sviluppa nella relazione con gli altri suoi simili, ed è in virtù di tale rapporto che riceve un determinato ...

The first part of this new millennium presents us a political and economic context inwhich the so-called globalized society is rising from the ranks setting as its first foundationthe constitution of planetary citizenship, considered the first principle for the affirmationof human rights and of civil co-habitation, in order to realise pacification, solidarityand equality among peoples. Unfortunately this rising "Global Village" is still continuouslytormented by so many conflicts, destructiveness, inequalities and injustices.Among peoples a climate of generalised violence and creeping terror prevails, causingin the "citizens" of the planet bewilderment, distrust, insecurity and anxiety. Therefore,the planetary citizenship is continually threatened by a strong competitiveness and individualismmaking human beings threatening and threatened, it follows that many layersof the world population do not feel ensured their fundamental rights. In such a direction,the educational action can represent the keystone that works as a critical forceof emancipation of consciences and avoids the flattening on ideological positions thatundermine at the base the ongoing process of promotion of civil co-habitation, safeguardof human rights and the constitution of a planetary citizenship as guarantee ofglobal peace and fundamental rights of the human being. ; La prima parte di questo inizio millennio ci presenta un panorama politico ed economicodove si fa strada la cosiddetta società globalizzata che pone come suo primo fondamentola costituzione della cittadinanza planetaria, considerata principio primo per l'affermazionedei diritti umani e della convivenza civile, al fine di realizzare la pacificazione,la solidarietà e l'uguaglianza tra i popoli. Purtroppo questo nascente "VillaggioGlobale" è ancora continuamente travagliato da tanti conflitti, distruttività, disuguaglianzee ingiustizie. Aleggia tra i popoli un clima di violenza generalizzata e un terrorestrisciante, causando nei "cittadini" del pianeta smarrimento, diffidenza, ...
