Il termine “povertà educativa” evidenzia un complesso di deprivazioni materiali e immateriali inimmaginabile solo qualche anno fa, entro i contesti sociali contemporanei. L’odierna emergenza educativa che ha il suo punto di maggior evidenza nelle situazioni di povertà educativa, rappresenta un fenomeno dilagante nelle nostre società, in grado di condizionare pesantemente il futuro delle giovani generazioni. Per contrastarlo, occorre un aumento di riflessività attorno al concetto stesso di “educazione”. In particolare, intendere primariamente i processi educativi come processi culturali evidenzia l’importanza di un’attribuzione di senso condivisa dai vari attori (famiglie, scuole, soggetti delle comunità) che, attraverso le loro reciproche relazioni, possono realizzare efficaci azioni socio-educative.
