PENTINI, Anna Aluffi. The potential space of Donald Winnicott in intercultural education: an italian early education project. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2018, vol.34, n.68, pp.289-303. ISSN 1984-0411.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0104-4060.57815.

This article seeks to highlight the Italian situation concerning a particular pedagogical early childhood approach by describing an intercultural project7 that was planned, implemented, monitored and supported from a social pedagogical perspective over the course of twenty years in Rome8. The principle concepts on which the project was based are that of the ‘potential space’ (Winnicott 1971, 1989) applied to intercultural pedagogy and that of support for parenting skills. In view of current educational policies in Italy9 some forms of practice which were developed in the course of this project, thanks to the constant pedagogical support and consultancy it received, can be extrapolated in order to promote a pedagogical dimension that appreciates and welcomes diversity and helps educational institutions, including those of early childhood education, to become democratic environments that promote equality among children.
