Abstract:

Living in the present time is disorienting because it appears invaded by uncertainty and by the dominance of individualistic tendencies; therefore, it is necessary to recover the awareness that we are not alone and that our feelings, whether negative or positive, are shared and experienced by others as well.

Uncertainty and fear can be faced through an educational action that leads to an expansion of the self in a design perspective characterized by an existential task marked by the acceptance of the human condition of fragility, which at the same time contains in it the possibility of "being there” in a possible world. People, therefore, have two ways at their disposal. The first, the one of conservation, dictated by fear, meaning that the institutions preserve what they already have. Or there is another path and possibility that can be followed, namely transformative resilience.

In this work we intend to make a contribution regarding the redefinition of the school curriculum, that takes into account the transformations dictated by the pandemic and that is able to accommodate the construct of transformative resilience in educational care, through listening, sharing and collaboration between institutions as an educating community where resilience should no longer be considered adaptive and static, but transformative and constantly moving, so as to withstand the different challenges that people experience on a daily basis.

In particular, with the spread of COVID-19 the school has had to change its relationship with students and their families. For example, the redefinition of the Co-Responsibility Pact which, with the use of distance learning, has made it necessary to introduce new forms of collaboration between school and family. Through the analysis of data from various national and international researches it is possible to highlight how educational action must also affect the acquisition of a new competence that of resilience understood as transformative.
