“Adopt a Philosopher + a Scientist” will start next Tuesday, the new format of the project/competition that the Campania dei Festival Foundation is promoting in agreement with the Regional School Office for Campania and in collaboration with the University of Naples Federico II, partner of the initiative.
The first appointment is scheduled for 10:15 on February XNUMX at the Istituto Statale di Istruzione Secondaria “Elena di Savoia” in Naples, where fourth and fifth year students will receive a visit from philosopher Massimo Adinolfi and scientist Paolo Massarotti, scientific curators of the project.
The next two days will be followed by meetings between the philosopher Agostino Cera and the scientist Gerardino D'Errico with the students of the classical high school “Torquato Tasso” in Salerno and between the scientist Angelo Fierro and the philosopher Fabio Ciaramelli at the State Institute “Bernini De Sanctis” in Naples.
This year, 66 schools have joined the project supported by the Campania Region: 31 in Naples and its province, 16 in Salerno and its province, 10 in Avellino and its province, 6 in Caserta and its province, 3 in Benevento and its province. Almost 3000 students are involved, 28 philosophers and 44 scientists. The first are willing to “adopt”, the others to be “adopted”.
The 2022 edition of “Adopt a Philosopher + a Scientist” intends to promote a reflection on the theme “The Soul and Techne”.
At the end of the meetings, which will continue until April, the students will produce textual, visual or audio works that must be sent no later than April 30 to the address adotta@fondazionecampaniadeifestival.it.
A commission, composed of philosophers and scientists, will select the six best works and will reward the authors, during a public ceremony, with theater subscriptions, gadgets and an educational and training trip to a city linked to the theme discussed.
