The Film Corner for all, Digital innovative environments for film and media literacy is a follow-up project stemming from The Film Corner. Online and offline activities for film literacy and The Film Corner Reloaded. A cultural approach already promoted in the frame of the Creative Europe programme 2014-2020 and is based on the design, development and test of an innovative set of interactive resources, an online interactive user-centered platform for film education aimed at fostering audience engagement. The platform is based on a selection of EU arthouse films and audiovisual, both feature and heritage short and long films and audiovisual.
In the previous editions of the project a set of interactive resources have already been developed: a section dedicated to a critical approach to film language and to film as an art form, a creative approach dedicated to film and to filmmaking and a section based on an interdisciplinary and cross-curricular approach to film education. The new sections that will be developed will be strongly integrated and connected with the sections of the platform that have already been developed, will foster connections with the SVOD platform www.cinetecamilano.it – in order to better connect film education, circulation of EU films, audience engagement and monetization of content – and will both push towards the empowerment of the consolidated audience and the search for new audiences for EU arthouse films and audiovisual.
The Film Corner is an online interactive user-centered platform for film education addressed to school students aged 11-18 and their teachers and to mainstream users with the general purposes of increasing sensitivity and appreciation of film, increasing the film education average skills among EU students and fostering engagement towards film. The platform is accessible for free and is already available in IT, EN, FR, SR, SL, GE.
The Film Corner platform includes:
The platform has been developed in the frame of The Film Corner project, that has been run since 2016 by Fondazione Cineteca Italiana (Milan, Italy) in collaboration with a consortium of partners including: Jugoslovenska Kinoteka, the Serbian national film archive (Belgrade, Serbia), The University of Galway (Galway, Ireland), The University of Milano-Bicocca (Milan, Italy), Kino Otok (Ljubljana and Izola, Slovenia) and the Georgia National Film Centre (Tiblisi, Georgia). The Film Corner project is co-financed by the Creative Europe programme promoted by the European Commission.
Professor Emanuela Mancino is the scientific supervisor of the project for our University.

The PhD Program in Education in the Contemporary Society (ESC), established with this name in the a.y. 2017/2018 (XXXIII cycle), and until the XXXII cycle called PhD Program in Education and Communication Sciences, has as its research object the educational challenges posed by the transformations taking place in contemporary life.
Research in this field involves multiple disciplines and methods: the PhD Program is configured as a course of advanced training that prepares researchers capable of analysing formative, educational, didactic and learning processes, interpreting the challenges and transformations of these processes, offering theoretically, empirically and epistemologically grounded answers and solutions.

CAPTED-NEXT is composed of research fellows and PhD students engaged in research topics fundamental to the mission of the CAPTED Departmental Research Center. The group is based on collaboration and intergenerational dialogue, exemplifying the Center's commitment to building an interdisciplinary scientific community based on peer-education processes, aimed at giving young researchers the opportunity to significantly contribute to the debate on the socio-educational and cultural implications of the digital transition.
ESCILO, the internal newsletter dedicated to doctoral students in Education in the Contemporary Society (ESC), is designed to reflect the diversity, strengths and shared goals of doctoral students, contributing to the creation of an authentic research community. ESCILO is produced and maintained autonomously by ESC Doctoral Students.
ESCILO is designed to keep all doctoral students informed, connected and engaged with key updates, opportunities and resources that are relevant to their academic journey in the ESC programme. Each issue will therefore be packed with important information on upcoming events, recent events, research resources (e.g. reading recommendations) and potential collaboration opportunities within our network.
ESCILO's goal is to make it easier for all PhD students to access information that can support their academic and professional development, while promoting a more collaborative environment in a horizontal sense. Whether sharing calls for papers/interest, upcoming conferences, potential funding sources or interesting articles/books, it is hoped that ESCILO will become a valuable resource and a space to share insights and ideas.
P2P reflective meetings are peer-to-peer exchanges and discussions within each ESC doctoral cycle, facilitated by an ESC alumnus. The meetings aim to promote peer-to-peer exchange and scholarly interaction with a view to building a research community, fostering the autonomy of ESC students and protecting their well-being.
Normally there are at least three peer-to-peer reflective meetings per year, for each doctoral cycle. The dates of the meetings can be found in the Didactic Calendar.
Peer-to-peer meetings were introduced for the first time in 2024, in response to the need expressed by doctoral students to have moments of exchange divided by cycle, in order to consolidate exchange processes and fruitful crossovers between different research projects.
Three meetings per year are compulsory for all PhD students in active cycles (years I, II, III). One week before each monitoring meeting, each student is required to fill in an online questionnaire (intermediate evaluation) to update the coordination group on the progress of research, teaching, mobility, publications, etc. The form also requires the uploading of the abstract (in English) of your research project, following a shared format.
The dates of the monitoring meetings are visible on the teaching calendar.
The ESC Doctorate trains doctoral students for academic careers and roles in public and private enterprises, combining research and innovation in a lifelong learning perspective. Doctoral students develop transversal, analytical and design skills to apply research in educational, school, social and business contexts, with roles ranging from research and innovation to consultancy, coordination and project management. To this end, the ESC actively collaborates with public and private companies, resulting in doctoral projects in collaboration with companies, in high apprenticeship and PNRR co-funded. The latter in particular combine the objectives of the ESC doctorate with those of the PNRR, with a view to promoting sustainable environmental, digital and social transitions.
The public and private companies with which the ESC Doctorate has collaborated since the 37th cycle are:
Our collection of voices from inside the “Education in Contemporary Society” PhD program continues with an interview with Petar Lefterov, enrolled in the 38th cycle.
What does psychology have to do with social sciences? Eugenia Campanella is a psychologist in her second year of her PhD in Education in Contemporary Society (ESC) at the Department of Human Sciences for Education “Riccardo Massa” at UniMiB. She tells us that these two disciplines intersect in more than one way, because mental health requires quality of life.
