MART Rovereto's Educational Department Adapts During Lockdown

During the COVID-19 lockdown, the MART museum in Rovereto, Italy, has maintained its educational initiatives. Carlo Tamanini, who oversees education, highlights the importance of aesthetic education and holistic pedagogy for individuals of all ages. The museum offers various programs, such as weekly workshops, the Baby MART area, and the Holiday on MART summer camp. Key staff members include Annalisa Casagranda, Ornella Dossi, Brunella Fait, and Graciela Cacace. Their inclusive approach incorporates guides using Augmentative and Alternative Communication (CAA) and workshops facilitated by individuals with autism and Down syndrome.

The museum also provides workshops on Fortunato Depero and mindfulness, while expanding online resources like the "Little Mart at home" initiative for families.
