Course contents
Course title: Development, contexts and awareness of corporeality.
The ecology of human development can be understood only though an analysis of a systemic network of contexts which the developing individual and, more in general, each of us must deal with. In the course the discussion will regard the circumstances that favour the awareness of one's corporeality and thus of being knowingly oriented towards growth following interests autonomously determined in the learning processes, with particolar attention to the developmental age.
