In this course, the classic themes and institutions of political participation are integrated with the broader theme of "presence", as a way of being in the world that requires awareness and material conditions that are indispensable for building substantial citizenship as well as legal and political in a formal sense .
In this perspective, the theme of the story of experiences and of the repercussions, including political ones, of autobiographical writing is introduced, as a further register through which the person interrogates the system: biographical and autobiographical writings are explicitly recognized as an object of study for the assonances and references that emerge with respect to the constitutional values ¿¿that should guide the policies of government of existence.
Alongside the analysis of autobiographical texts chosen on the basis of some major themes of the governing policies of lives (class struggle, Resistance, exile and immigration, disease, marginalization, urban decay, etc. .), in the course there is also a workshop part in which moments of writing in the first person by the students are promoted, in a parallel and transversal procedure to the teaching: the support of the students' personal experience would like to have as its objective that of think and place oneself both inside the group - for the duration of the course - and outside in society.
The integration of narrative practices in the construction processes of participatory policies allows to experiment innovative methodologies, in terms of listening, community building, co-planning, cooperation, horizontal subsidiarity.
