Multiple e composite: identità senza etichette. Educare al rispetto dell’alterità fin dalla prima infanzia

Education should ensure that, from early childhood, children gradually acquire greater awareness of themselves, their potential,\r\nand how to express themselves while respecting each other's differences.\r\nThrough processes of identification and progressive self-determination, children learn to perceive themselves, get to know themselves,\r\nand discover their own aptitudes. However, behind the apparent neutrality of educational actions and linguistic expressions,\r\nthere are often limitations, stereotypes, and prejudices that are transmitted, more or less consciously, to those who are growing\r\nup.\r\nIn an attempt to show how this risk can be countered, this contribution presents the experience of a childcare service engaged\r\nin a problematizing reading of the ways in which culture interprets interpersonal differences and the rigid identity models underlying\r\nit.
