Universities of Cantabria and Catania (Spain, Italy) have been collaborating in a research project on children’s spaces, aimed at analysing school and city play spaces with eco-inclusive criteria. The results of this analysis will be released soon and a second phase of the project will begin afterwards, involving also researcher from University of Mons (<\/em>Belgium).<\/em><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]During the academic year 2021\/2022, a research collaboration between the Department of Education at the University of Cantabria (UC, Spain) and the Department of Education Sciences at the University of Catania (UNICT, Italy) began.\u00a0Prof. Teresa Susinos (UC) and Prof. Roberta Piazza (UNICT) started a research project aimed at analysing school and city play spaces with eco-inclusive criteria and whether the design of these spaces dedicated to children took into consideration the eco-inclusive perspective, with a comparative approach. The project was developed together with Dr. \u00c1ngela Saiz and Dr. Noelia Ceballos (Department of Education at UC) and Dr. Giusy Pappalardo (Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture at UNICT).<\/p>\n

To this purpose, UC and UNICT students shared visual information (pictures and videos) of schools and city playgrounds. The images were analysed taking into account a series of questions useful for understanding the design criteria of parks\/playgrounds: Are the places child-friendly? Are they somehow connected with nature? Do they meet the children’s needs? Are the routes to school\/park safe? What opportunities for contacting with nature do children have around the school\/park? What opportunities exist to connect the school\/park with the neighborhood?<\/p>\n

Students accompanied the photographs with a short text explaining the characteristics of the spaces and offering suggestions on how to design, based on the eco-inclusive approach. The text took the form of a virtual postcard to be exchanged among students from both UC and UNICT. A final common archive (open web space<\/a><\/span>) collected all the photographs and analyses made.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0The eco-inclusive perspective allows us to think of play spaces taking into account the possibility for all children to find opportunities to discover, experiment, learn,\u00a0\u00bb said Prof. Roberta Piazza (UNICT). \u00ab\u00a0Another key point is the use of natural, environmentally friendly materials. The designs of these spaces appear highly standardised and uniform. The impression is that, at least in Sicily, there is a ‘single mind’ that designs and chooses the games. The comparison between the two countries allowed us to bring out the presence of common problems, in terms of eco-inclusive design and the need to involve local authorities in rethinking spaces for children\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n

The results of this research initiative will be published soon, and its participants designed a new project for academic year 2023\/2024: The School in the Community: Mapping Social Partnerships in Schools<\/em>, which will also involve the University of Mons (Belgium).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=\u00a0\u00bbin_container\u00a0\u00bb full_screen_row_position=\u00a0\u00bbmiddle\u00a0\u00bb column_margin=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb column_direction=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb column_direction_tablet=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb column_direction_phone=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb scene_position=\u00a0\u00bbcenter\u00a0\u00bb text_color=\u00a0\u00bbdark\u00a0\u00bb text_align=\u00a0\u00bbleft\u00a0\u00bb row_border_radius=\u00a0\u00bbnone\u00a0\u00bb row_border_radius_applies=\u00a0\u00bbbg\u00a0\u00bb overflow=\u00a0\u00bbvisible\u00a0\u00bb overlay_strength=\u00a0\u00bb0.3″ gradient_direction=\u00a0\u00bbleft_to_right\u00a0\u00bb shape_divider_position=\u00a0\u00bbbottom\u00a0\u00bb bg_image_animation=\u00a0\u00bbnone\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column column_padding=\u00a0\u00bbno-extra-padding\u00a0\u00bb column_padding_tablet=\u00a0\u00bbinherit\u00a0\u00bb column_padding_phone=\u00a0\u00bbinherit\u00a0\u00bb column_padding_position=\u00a0\u00bball\u00a0\u00bb column_element_direction_desktop=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb column_element_spacing=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb desktop_text_alignment=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb tablet_text_alignment=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb phone_text_alignment=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb background_color_opacity=\u00a0\u00bb1″ background_hover_color_opacity=\u00a0\u00bb1″ column_backdrop_filter=\u00a0\u00bbnone\u00a0\u00bb column_shadow=\u00a0\u00bbnone\u00a0\u00bb column_border_radius=\u00a0\u00bbnone\u00a0\u00bb column_link_target=\u00a0\u00bb_self\u00a0\u00bb column_position=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb gradient_direction=\u00a0\u00bbleft_to_right\u00a0\u00bb overlay_strength=\u00a0\u00bb0.3″ width=\u00a0\u00bb1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb animation_type=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb bg_image_animation=\u00a0\u00bbnone\u00a0\u00bb border_type=\u00a0\u00bbsimple\u00a0\u00bb column_border_width=\u00a0\u00bbnone\u00a0\u00bb column_border_style=\u00a0\u00bbsolid\u00a0\u00bb][image_with_animation image_url=\u00a0\u00bb15775″ image_size=\u00a0\u00bbmedium_large\u00a0\u00bb animation_type=\u00a0\u00bbentrance\u00a0\u00bb animation=\u00a0\u00bbNone\u00a0\u00bb animation_movement_type=\u00a0\u00bbtransform_y\u00a0\u00bb hover_animation=\u00a0\u00bbnone\u00a0\u00bb alignment=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb img_link_large=\u00a0\u00bbyes\u00a0\u00bb border_radius=\u00a0\u00bbnone\u00a0\u00bb box_shadow=\u00a0\u00bbnone\u00a0\u00bb image_loading=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb max_width=\u00a0\u00bb100%\u00a0\u00bb max_width_mobile=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text]Professors Teresa Susinos (UC, on the right) and Roberta Piazza (UNICT, in the middle) in a meeting at the University of Cantabria at the begining of the research collaboration, in 2021, together with UC\u2019s Vice-Rector for Internationalisation and Global Engagement Matxalen Llosa (on the left).<\/em><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
