In 1999 the Tito Balestra Foundation, together with some members of the Scuola Operativa Italiana (literally, the Italian Operating School), established the CIDO (Italian Center for Operational Didactics). CIDO organises the Didactic Experimental Workshops and creates a space for researching expressive language. These activities make the Foundation not only a place for art conservation but also an opportunity to stimulate an “aesthetic experience”, especially among the new generations, through emotions and cultural exchange.
This year, the Foundation offers workshops on art, literature and science for kindergarten, primary and secondary schools. During each meeting, kids will be supported by experts on the subject, who will guide them step by step during the proposed activity. The latter can be carried out at the Foundation or at the educational institutions (though we recommend at least one meeting at the Foundation).

All the workshops are carried out in Italian.
