The concept of resilience, established in the literature and in psycho-therapeutic interventions as well as in sustainable development models such as that of the PNRR, is making its appearance in the educational field, in special contexts related to post-traumatic situations and as a generalist intervention aimed at mitigating the effects of the complex society founded on crisis and uncertainty, as an approach aimed at prevention and the promotion of attitudes and skills to cope with the unexpected and overcome adversity. The resilience construct constitutes a paradigmatic dimension as an organizer of meaning epistemologically grounded in the assumptions of complexity theory, such as, for example, the questioning of the linear causality nexus that produces a vicious predictive effect toward states of vulnerability. It implies a different representation of vulnerability producing the dual effect of: transforming adversity and suffering into resources and opportunities for learning and training; and regenerating the community dimension and social and collective empowerment. This paper will present the main aims of the lines of action of the international project RESUPERES Resilience in Higher Education or University Context: overcoming adversity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Responses to the current energy crisis and to action against climate change have produced a wide variety of experimentations. Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) and Energy Communities (EC) are spreading as aggregators of enabling technologies, but the knowledge and skills required to plan, implement and monitor them still need to be developed. Technology alone is not enough to facilitate knowledge sharing and the experimentation and co-creation of solutions. The paper focuses on methods and tools that allow to support the creation of "energy citizens" through considerations developed in project H2020 GRETA (Green Energy Transition Actions) and in COST Action 'PED-EU-NET'.

The present paper endeavour to explore the sociolinguistic charateristics of gaì, a local jargon spoken by some pastoral communities on Italian Alps, untill mid/late XX century. The article first tackles the classification of gaì as a class language, and identifies its affinity with other local and foreign jargons. After a brief description of gaì's main linguistic features, the article proceeds by locating its socio-anthropological roots in the relations between shepherds, farmers and miners. Lastly, the article proposes a non-linguistic research on the origins of gaì, with a focus on the introduction of enclosures in Valcamonica. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
