Educating Sensitivity and
Critical Thinking in the Digital Age
From March 18 to 20, 2026, the third edition of EDI Global Forum will take place in Naples, hosted at the Fondazione Morra Greco and in selected institutions and historical venues in the city’s historic center.
The Forum is organized in partnership with the Campania Region as a global gathering of educators from museums, universities, foundations, and allied organizations. EDI Global Forum offers a stage to spotlight the most creative educational innovations at museums worldwide and co-create new forms of public engagement.
EDI Global Forum – Third Edition
What happens when Ultima Generazione sits down with MoMA, the Louvre, and Google Arts & Culture?
With this new edition of EDI, we are addressing one of the most urgent questions facing cultural institutions today: how do we teach people to see beyond images?
The last edition in 2023 welcomed almost 400 participants representing 193 organizations from 30 countries. The Forum returns in March 2026 with a dynamic 3-day program of debates, roundtables, workshops, exhibitions, performances, and experimental engagements.
Education as a Transformative Practice
The third edition of EDI Global Forum focuses on two crucial issues of our time: the critical interpretation of images and the cultivation of fragility. In a present characterised by visual overstimulation, the Forum promotes visual literacy as a way of critically thinking through the explosive proliferation of images that permeate our lives.
In an era marked by profound social and technological transformations, education can no longer be conceived as the simple transmission of knowledge. Instead, it becomes the foundation of individual self-determination and active citizenship. EDI Global Forum offers a concrete opportunity to experiment with new pedagogical models and to redefine learning paradigms..
The aim is to transform the act of looking (and sensing with all our perceptive faculties) into a tool for conscious inquiry. We seek to cultivate a sensitivity to push past the fast-paced, seductive surface of visual data streams and slow-plunge into the depths of meaning. In so doing we foster a genuine form of visual literacy that equips new generations with the tools needed to navigate the complexity of the present.
