Biennale Educational 2018

La Biennale di Venezia brings a decisive impulse to the activities in its Educational programme, thereby confirming its attention to the younger generations, to their familiarity with the arts and with the Biennale as an institution in particular.

The goals of the Educational activities are:

• To promote a meaningful relationship with its own public and direct knowledge of the world of the arts;
• To encourage “a visit to the Biennale” as a place for personal growth, as an element of the “family vocabulary” for the new generations in the city of Venice, in the Veneto region and more in general throughout the territory;
• To foster a growing interest in schools for “creative doing” as an integral part of educational programmes for young people.

La Biennale, by its very nature a place open to encounter and experimentation, wishes to offer opportunities in this perspective for schools, families, scholars, enthusiasts, professionals, companies and universities. Encouraged by the positive results of preceding editions, the Biennale Sessions project for universities and academies continues, as do the involvement of students from upper secondary schools enrolled in the national Alternanza Scuola Lavoro programme, as well as the multidisciplinary weekly programmes. We are grateful to the countless teachers in schools at every level, whose dauntless commitment brings vital energy to all our projects.

The Educational initiatives are made possible by the support of F.I.L.A. Fabbrica Italiana Lapis ed Affini which, with their Lyra brand, is the Official Pencil of the Educational Activities of the 16th International Architecture Exhibition.
