Abstract

Il contributo esplora il valore pedagogico della frontiera come soglia generativa attraverso l’esperienza di Amos FloatingLab, un laboratorio educativo itinerante nato dalla riconversione di una barca a vela impiegata nei viaggi migratori. L’articolo approfondisce la dimensione liminale dell’educazione, intrecciando le riflessioni teoriche sulla complessità, sull’apprendimento situato e sulle geografie pedagogiche. I risultati della ricerca qualitativa condotta con un gruppo di giovani in condizione di fragilità mostrano come la navigazione diventi un dispositivo trasformativo di apprendimento incarnato, cooperativo e relazionale.
