Teaching & Conferences - Science in for an effective interdisciplinary teaching

The essay is an invitation to reflect on the possibility of experimenting, at school, interdisciplinary, understood as "knowledge" that enter into "". The opportunity was given to us the organization of a Study Conference on Tito Lucrezio Caro, at the "Liceo Scientifico Salvemini" of Bari. Discussing about Lucrezio we found teachers of several disciplines of our High School (Philosophy, Latin), Italian Literature, Sciences, Physics, History of Art), together with authoritative experts. The teachers involved the students in workshops on the topic, which represented an important opportunity for discussion and self-training. We have tried to realize the sense of philosophizing understood as the ability to "create connections", recovering that ancient link with the "other" languages, from science to poetry or art. The conference represented an opportunity to do research at school, "for" students and "with" students, who are thus offered the opportunity to take part in conferences in a more conscious and effective way.
