Library on Alternative Education

Starting in June 2023, CASTRO inaugurated a new library focused on alternative education and radical pedagogy. The library, accessible for free at CASTRO’s premises, is the result of a collective process: each month, by invitation, two artists, curators, educators, or researchers, both Italian and international, share a text that has been important to their practice or education. The text is acquired and added to the library, which will continue to expand over time and foster a dialogue on the topic of experimental education between the national and international scenes through reading groups, meetings, and workshops.
