Educational activities

The educational offer

Fondazione FILA Museum embraces the concept of museum education in a broad and transversal sense: the history of the brand is the starting point for experiences that introduce the visitor to multiple points of reflection. Inspired by macro themes such as sport, fashion with its evolutions, the study of the image and archival practices, participants of all ages are led along personalized paths, which prefer intermediate processes to the final outcomes.

Activity

Primary school

Designers for a day

What processes lie behind a dress or a collection? How many professionals are involved? What do we mean by uniform?

After a brainstorming focused on the aesthetics of FILA garments, participants are invited to focus on their characteristic elements. At the end, everyone will be invited to draw a sketch with a look that blends them all: the activity ends with a parade in the museum to the rhythm of music, to creatively present their idea.

Objectives: introduction to the glossary and the dynamics of the fashion system, organization of group work; translation of the concept into drawing;
Materials (provided by the institution): A4 sheets of paper, markers, colored pencils.

Lower secondary school

Beyond the Frame

In 1978 it took Reinhold Messner four days to climb Mount Everest from which he took this splendid analogue photograph. Today, digital tools allow us to take a lot of photos, in very high quality, every day. But what is a photo? And how many elements of reality do we exclude from the shots we choose every day? Armed with colors, markers and creativity, we will use a frame to transform Everest into a magical world full of surprises, broadening perspectives and points of view: because for those who love sports, imagination has no limits.

Objectives: introduction to the history of photography, development of artistic skills through freehand drawing;
Materials: A3 sheets of paper, photographic images, markers, colored pencils, scissors, magazines to be cut out.

Upper secondary school

The museum? A killer post(s)

Adriano Panatta, Björn Borg, Evonne Goolagong, Marco Pantani, Giovanni Soldini, Nikki MacCray, Ingemar Stenmark: FILA history is full of champions, protagonists of the sporting feats told in the museum. Most of them took place in historical periods before the spread of social media, which instead convey most of today’s information, shaping contemporary language. What would happen if we found ourselves telling the same triumphs with a post on Instagram?

The activity reflects on the potential of Instagram, one of the most popular and complete social media, pointing out that the wrong content, online, can give rise to episodes of cyberbullying, flames or hate speech, while the circulation of inappropriate images can nevertheless be harmful. Thanks to the activity, however, we will understand that the right tone of voice combined with the wise selection of content can shape virtuous communication.

Objectives: phygital approach to the museum, reflection on the conscious use of social media, encouragement of creative writing and graphic-artistic attitudes;
Materials: Printed A4 sheets of paper, pens, graphite, colored pencils, markers, scissors
