Children see the world through eyes that are different from those of adults. That is why a poppy or a rose is never “just” a flower, but a special encounter with nature and its beauty. Flowers carry wonder, questions and possibilities. The task of adults, in turn, is to learn from this ever-renewed gaze, understanding that looking at a flower means entering into a relationship with oneself and with nature.

Under the scientific direction of Alessandra Falconi, the volume offers teachers, librarians, museum and cultural professionals eight interdisciplinary pathways that weave together art, history, science and poetry, restoring the flower to its role as a vital symbol and a tool for knowledge.

It takes a flower

Interdisciplinary paths for a creative school Mascia Premoli

  Children observe the world through eyes that are different from those of adults. For this reason, a poppy or a rose is never “just” a flower, but a special encounter with nature and its beauty. Flowers carry wonder, questions and possibilities. The task of adults, in turn, is to learn from this ever-renewed way of seeing, understanding that looking at a flower means entering into a relationship with oneself and with nature. Under the scientific direction of Alessandra Falconi, the volume is part of the Creative School Lab series, aimed at nursery and primary schools and conceived as a collection of workbooks for teachers, librarians, museum and cultural professionals. It offers 8 interdisciplinary pathways that weave together art, history, science and poetry, restoring the flower to its role as a vital symbol and a tool for knowledge. Find out more!
