Notes
An afternoon of reflection, inspiration, and dialogue with experts and creatives, to better understand and engage more consciously with the world around us.
Three perspectives to explore learning, identity, and the relationship between the real and the virtual
How are learning, creativity, and identity evolving in the age of AI and digital transformation?
IED Rome presents three talks that explore the present and future of what it means to be human — from the design of educational spaces, to the expressive power of language and emotion, to cinema as a lens for understanding our times.
An afternoon of reflection, inspiration, and dialogue with experts and creatives, to better understand and engage more consciously with the world around us.
From multiple intelligences to a hundred languages
Starting from the relationship between Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences and Malaguzzi’s hundred languages, the dialogue will explore how these theories influence the design of spaces—particularly learning environments—in order to create welcoming educational settings that support exploration and curiosity.
With Valentina Conte, Architect and expert in learning spaces and Lorenzo Manera, Researcher in aesthetics at the Department of Education and Human Sciences, Unimore.
2 PM
Together, but Elsewhere: Emotions and Imagination in the Age of AI
AI is not just a tool, but a new cognitive environment that transforms the way young people design themselves and the world around. A dialogue on anxiety, desire, and creativity, to educate about complexity and live consciously in the contemporary technological landscape.
With Andrea Colamedici, philosopher, writer, and editor, and Maura Gancitano, philosopher and writer. Together, they founded the cultural project Tlon.

Being Human in the Digital Age
In a world suspended between the physical and the virtual, Tulli's cinema explores the new geographies of a fluid and metamorphosing reality, reflecting on what it means to be human in the digital age.
With Adele Tulli, Film Director. Moderated by: Massimo Guerci.
