description "Men are not islands: the sources tell" is a verification of history open to the public through the critical reading and theatrical reinterpretation of seven sources on confinement, taken from the text by Anna Foa (2018), «Going to places of confinement», Il Mulino. Through research and comparison of sources with other sources, the students associated moments and feelings of history that every human being has gone through, including them. The result was a theatrical text, written and staged by the pupils as a succession of seven historical pictures. From the historiographical reflection, the students went through significant moments of the Twentieth Century, implementing disciplinary skills ("use and organization of sources of different types", as per "National Indications") and "soft skills" (empathy, cooperation, problem solving). A Socratic experience with "Didactics in action" and at the same time a laboratory of active citizenship through a multi-pedagogical approach.
