Riflettendo a partire dalla definizione di povertà educativa proposta da Save the Children Italia nel 2014, l'articolo si sofferma sull’esperienza di don Giovanni Bosco, precursore nella prevenzione e nel contrasto di molteplici forme di povertà, materiali e immateriali. Nel contesto dei mutamenti socioeconomici ottocenteschi, il prete piemontese intuì che si rendeva necessario agire sul fronte dell'educazione. L’articolo mette in luce come don Bosco, partendo dalla personale esperienza di deprivazione, si sia impegnato per un’educazione ricca e una solida comunità educante. La sua proposta di educazione integrale è correlata alla formazione professionale e all’accompagnamento nel mondo del lavoro e si rileva come sia ancora efficace per far germinare risorse individuali anche minime.

Abstract
Reflecting on the definition of educational poverty proposed by Save the Children Italy in 2014, the article focuses on the experience of Don Giovanni Bosco, a forerunner in the prevention and fight against multiple forms of material and immaterial poverty. In the context of the nineteenth century’s socio-economic changes, the Piedmontese priest sensed that it was necessary to act on the educational front. The article highlights how Don Bosco, starting from his personal experience of deprivation, committed to ensuring a rich education and a solid educational community. His proposal for integral education is connected to professional training and integration in the workplace and it is noted how still is effective in germinating even minimal individual resources.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
