The article explores the transformation of socio-emotional education, from the skills-based model promoted by international frameworks (CASEL, OECD) to a perspective of socio-emotional care, understood as the creation of educational environments that integrate relationships, emotions, and learning. After recalling pedagogical roots (Dewey, Pestalozzi) and recent Italian developments (Policy Recommendations 2024), it analyses experiences and practices documented by the Erasmus+ project 3H (Head, Heart, Hand), with particular attention to its Compendium of Good Practices. Building on this, the article proposes a set of operational guidelines for schools and reflects on the role of skills and teaching-learning within the broader perspective of socio-emotional care.
L’articolo esplora la trasformazione del discorso sull’educazione socio-emotiva, dal modello basato sull’apprendimento di skills promosso da framework internazionali (CASEL, OCSE) a una prospettiva di cura socio-emotiva, intesa come costruzione di ambienti educativi capaci di integrare relazioni, emozioni e apprendimento. Dopo aver richiamato radici pedagogiche (Dewey, Pestalozzi) e recenti sviluppi in Italia (Policy Recommendations, 2024), si analizzano esperienze e pratiche documentate dal progetto Erasmus+ 3H (Head, Heart, Hand), con particolare attenzione al suo Compendium of Good Practices. A partire da esso, vengono qui proposte alcune coordinate operative per la scuola e una riflessione sul posto delle abilità e dell’insegnamento-apprendimento nella prospettiva della cura socio-emotiva.

Abstract
The article explores the transformation of socio-emotional education, from the skills-based model promoted by international frameworks (CASEL, OECD) to a perspective of socio-emotional care, understood as the creation of educational environments that integrate relationships, emotions, and learning. After recalling pedagogical roots (Dewey, Pestalozzi) and recent Italian developments (Policy Recommendations 2024), it analyses experiences and practices documented by the Erasmus+ project 3H (Head, Heart, Hand), with particular attention to its Compendium of Good Practices. Building on this, the article proposes a set of operational guidelines for schools and reflects on the role of skills and teaching-learning within the broader perspective of socio-emotional care.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
