The <\/em>E<\/em>nchanted Castle<\/em> aims to dedicate an entire floor of Castello di Rivoli to young visitors. Recognising children and youth as the \u201cideal visitors\u201d of these spaces, the project allows the broader public to experience an exhibition designed for their eyes, minds, and hearts, thus transforming the museum into a \u201cre-enchanted\u201d space. This innovative project turns the Museum into an experiential and inclusive educational laboratory and a school of active citizenship. Born from the collaboration with the Education Department and a team of educators, the project is based on a participatory approach, co-creating the museum experience with the visitors themselves, particularly children and teenagers. For the first time, the narration around the artworks will be a work in progress, conceived and built together with a group of young people from Rivoli, aged 6 to 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Enchanted Castle <\/em>draws inspiration from the idea of the museum as an agor<\/em>\u00e0<\/em>, a meeting place where art is central to a process of learning and growth that involves the entire community. On the occasion of Castello di Rivoli\u2019s 40th anniversary, the project offers an opportunity to re-actualise the Museum\u2019s mission to \u201cpromote knowledge of contemporary art\u201d by directly engaging the public of the future to foster social and civic development within individuals and the local area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paola Zanini, Head of the Museum\u2019s Education Department, states: The Enchanted Castle <\/em>is an opportunity to nurture a sense of belonging to the Museum among young people, a platform to activate creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and the ability to face the unexpected. The innovative approach proposed by <\/em>The Enchanted Castle <\/em>fully embraces the spirit with which the Education Department has worked since the Museum<\/em>\u2019<\/em>s opening, through active participation and shared projects that have always been the guiding principles of our work.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
