A “LIVING” META-SKILLS MODEL TO FORM AESTHETIC HABITS IN THE PERSON
Abstract
The urgency and importance of training transversal skills in young people are at the center of the debate on school education, especially after the approval of Law No. 22 of 19 February 2025. In this regard, in order to advance an educational proposal primarily focused on the person to be trained in one’s own human qualities, this paper presents meta-skills model of competences, focusing particularly on the dimension of competencies related to the aspiration to the ideal.
