This three-year course merges both theoretical and practical elements, allowing students to apply their skills in schools, museums, and various educational initiatives. The curriculum featured influential thinkers like J. Dewey. Students collaborated with institutions such as the Museo d'Arte Orientale di Venezia and organized tours for exhibitions like Rivoluzione Vedova and Banksy. They are currently facilitating Marina Abramović's exhibition at Gallerie dell'Accademia, which runs until October 18, 2026, following their training in the Abramović method.
