People, Environment, Territory: between Generative Learning and Sustainability

The seminar, to be held on 4 December 2025 at the University of Salerno and entitled "Person, Environment, Territory: between Generative Learning and Sustainability," aims to provide a space for transdisciplinary reflection on the themes of education, the environment, and the individual. Through the contribution of Prof. Giordano, it offers a generative interpretation of the links between health, territory, and subjectivity. By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue among pedagogical, scientific, and institutional perspectives, the event outlines new educational horizons capable of integrating knowledge and practices into a unified vision, attentive to the cultural and environmental transformations of our time. The generative dimension of pedagogy thus becomes the promoter of a discourse that unites different perspectives and lines of research, bringing them together around a single, major object of reflection: the human being.
