The summer schools are an unmissable opportunity for those working in the field of educational inclusion, coming from all over Italy and abroad. They are structured over four days and cover specific topics, offering an in-depth and engaging learning experience. A tutto tondo 2026 offers seven different summer schools featuring training programs on academic guidance and the role talent plays in this process, on STEAM subjects and artificial intelligence, on third-place learning environments and building a strong, inclusive community, on play, workshops, and the development of pedagogical tools; on designing cities and school spaces tailored to children and young people; and, finally, on creating spaces for talent.
Participants may enroll in only one of the summer schools offered, which will take place from July 8 to 11, 2026, at the Rondò dei Talenti based in Cuneo (Italy). Each program will accommodate a maximum of 25 participants, ensuring a personalized learning environment, and attendance at least 75% of the scheduled hours is required.
Registration for the summer schools is open until May 15, 2026.

Animation, understood as an active and relational strategy, guides the design of educational programs based on creative mediators. The summer school aims to explore how educators and teachers can design and implement meaningful experiences through the arts, picture books, music, theater, film, and play, recognizing these as key tools for symbolic, expressive, emotional, and cognitive mediation. The program aims to rediscover the fundamentals of animation and bring them up to date, in order to “bring to life” teaching and enable both adults and children to become active participants and co-creators of their own education.

Everyone on the ground: designing cities and school spaces that are child- and youth-friendly

This summer school is dedicated to the design of educational urban spaces tailored to children and young people, inspired by the “Tutti giù per terra” call for proposals. It aims to explore and rethink the potential of schoolyards, school entrances, and neighborhood areas as places for play, freedom, and thought, promoting safer, more participatory, and more educational cities.
