Background
Producing knowledge implies the responsibility to divulge it with quality, making it available for everyone. With the advent of the Internet the possibilities to retransmit knowledge have grown, but the danger is also grown of a deterioration of its quality, as the Nobel prize Gell-mann already denounced in the nineties. The project intends to propose solutions to this kind of problem, contributing to improve the expressive capacity of thesis and graduate students and of the general public, making them capable of generating information of good quality.
Purpose
Develop specific courses to teach theoretical principles and practical exercises for the improvement of the meta-cognitive abilities and the quality of the expression of the participant. Make these latter able to communicate and to express themselves with a better and more adequate level of clarity and quality. Propose the courses to private companies, cultural Foundations and research centers.
Methods
The exercises and the basic principles that have been found are tested during classes taught at the Fondazione dell’Ordine degli Ingegneri della provincia di Torino (FOIT), as part of its training offer. The Executive Council of the FOIT has chosen to teach the same classes for free also to the “categorie protette”, which include people who lost their jobs. The same classes are also offered to private companies.
