Resumo: In times of crisis, connections among people, cultures, and societies seem to be the main antidotes available against the risks of individualism, auto-referentiality, and a revenge culture. Connectivity offers opportunities to nurture human generativity (Santi, 2021) in the service of better futures and cosmopolitan scenarios, contrasting the delusion of autarchical economies, the rhetoric of political nationalism, and the reinforcement of social polarization by way of competition/marginalization, which applies to  education as well. The pandemia that occurred in 2020 brought both risks of isolation and opportunities for connection: it has been a paradoxical and even paroxysmal situation that has challenged us to think about forms of dependence, especially in instructional contexts. The stimulus for an inquiry that was carried out with 817 students at the University of Padova was the provocative title of an album by well-known musicians: “Declaration of Dependence.” The aim was to think about dependencies in the form of regular roles such as “study/student” that are important for our human existence, and which were profoundly upset by the “sindemia” (Singer, 2009). Our aspiration was to explore what it means to belong to a thriving university whose over-arching goal is to serve the dependencies of people in a generative community of future horizons. Our efforts led to the drafting of the “Declaration of Dependence,” a shared manifesto by the research group that enumerated a thorough list of the students' self-declared dependencies, and which was later shared with the university community in multiple languages. This led, in turn, to the use of  the Declaration to launch multiple focus groups, which discussed these dependencies in a setting devoted to dialogue and the practice of complex thinking. Subsequently, in a workshop carried out in 2020 at the 20th Biennial Conference of the International Council of Philosophical Inquiry with Children (ICPIC) in Tokyo, we opened an international dimension on the reflections that had preoccupied us in the Padova University context. Here, the aim was to reflect on the personal, collective and educational dependencies of the present historical moment through the practice of community of philosophical inquiry, which offers a paradigmatic time and space for sharing, listening, questioning, and gaining perspective. The conference workshop offered an international group of scholars and practitioners from various socio-political contexts the opportunity to deliberate on how the pandemic has impacted both their local and the global community. Considering the new educational and philosophical challenges presented by the pandemic, the group expressed an urgent need to deconstruct established boundaries and return to “origins.” Invoking metaphors taken from the natural world (Roversi et al, 2022), an inquiry into the nature and scope of our fundamental  dependencies reminds us that we are part of a socio-cultural ecology that is grounded and nurtured in our relationship with others. A community that understands its dependencies as gifts that call us to the design of a better future could in fact represent a foreshadowing of a better tomorrow.

A conectividade oferece oportunidades para nutrir a generatividade humana (Santi, 2021) rumo a futuros melhores e cenários cosmopolitas, em contraste à ilusão da economia autárquica, à retórica do nacionalismo político, ao fortalecimento de polarizações políticas como a competição/marginalização, que abrangem também a educação. A pandemia que ocorreu em 2020 enfatizou os riscos do isolamento e as oportunidades de conexão: tem sido uma situação tanto paradoxal quanto paroxística pensar sobre formas de dependências, especialmente nos contextos educacionais. O pretexto da investigação proposta a 817 estudantes da Universidade de Padova foi um provocante título de um álbum de músicos conhecidos: “Declaração de Dependência". O objetivo era pensar sobre (in)dependências que criam papéis “regulares”, como “estudo/estudante”, que são importantes na nossa existência humana e foram completamente abalados pela “sindemia” (Singer, 2009). A aspiração era revelar o inalienável senso de pertencimento a uma universidade próspera que considera as dependências das pessoas numa comunidade generativa de horizontes futuros. Nossos esforços levaram à elaboração do manifesto compartilhado da “Declaração de Dependência”, um documento que sussurrou e gritou as dependências dos estudantes e que foi, posteriormente, partilhado com a comunidade em múltiplas linguagens. Em 2021, a natureza acolheu a reunião das declarações através da prática filosófica e do diálogo, como um paradigma do pensamento complexo. No workshop realizado no ICPIC 2022 - 20ª Conferência Bienal em Tóquio, demos uma dimensão internacional às reflexões que nos acompanharam no contexto universitário de Pádua. O objetivo foi refletir sobre as dependências educacionais, coletivas e pessoais da comunidade contemporânea através da prática da FpcC na natureza como um tempo e espaço para a escuta, para estar aberto e ganhar perspectiva. Foi uma oportunidade de dar voz a diferentes pensamentos, vivências e contextos sócio-políticos sobre como a pandemia impactou, mudou e gerou. Considerando os novos desafios educacionais e filosóficos, sentimos uma necessidade urgente de desconstruir as fronteiras estabelecidas e retornar às origens. Recordar a metáfora da natureza (Roversi et al, 2022) no mundo das dependências recorda à humanidade que ela faz parte de uma ecologia sociocultural que se fundamenta e se alimenta na sua relação com os outros. Uma comunidade que busca suas dependências como dádivas para projetar um futuro melhor parece ser o amanhecer de amanhã.En tiempos de crisis, las conexiones entre personas, culturas y sociedades parecen ser los principales antídotos disponibles contra los riesgos del individualismo, la autorreferencialidad y la cultura del desquite. La conectividad ofrece oportunidades para alimentar la generatividad humana (Santi, 2021) al servicio de futuros mejores y escenarios cosmopolitas, contraponiéndose al engaño de las economías autárquicas, la retórica del nacionalismo político y el refuerzo de la polarización social a través de la competencia/marginalización, lo que se aplica también a la educación. La pandemia que sobrevino en 2020 trajo consigo tanto riesgos de aislamiento como oportunidades de conexión: ha sido una situación paradójica e incluso paroxística que nos ha desafiado a reflexionar sobre las formas de dependencia, especialmente en contextos de instrucción. El estímulo para una investigación que se llevó a cabo con 817 estudiantes de la Universidad de Padua fue el provocativo título de un álbum de conocidos músicos: "Declaración de dependencia". El objetivo era reflexionar acerca de las dependencias en la forma de roles regulares como "estudio/estudiante" que son importantes para nuestra existencia humana, y que se vieron profundamente alteradas por la "sindemia" (Singer, 2009). Nuestra aspiración era explorar qué significa pertenecer a una universidad pujante cuyo objetivo general es estar al servicio de las dependencias de las personas en una comunidad generativa de horizontes de futuro. Nuestros esfuerzos desembocaron en la redacción de la "Declaración de Dependencia", un manifiesto compartido escrito por el grupo de investigación que enumeraba una lista exhaustiva de las dependencias autodeclaradas de los estudiantes, y que posteriormente se compartió con la comunidad universitaria en varios idiomas. Esto condujo, a su vez, al uso de la Declaración para poner en marcha múltiples grupos focales, que debatieron estas dependencias en un entorno dedicado al diálogo y a la práctica del pensamiento complejo. Posteriormente, en un taller realizado en 2020 en la 20ª Conferencia Bienal del Consejo Internacional de Investigación Filosófica con Niños (ICPIC) en Tokio, abrimos una dimensión internacional sobre las reflexiones que nos habían ocupado en el contexto de la Universidad de Padua. Allí, el objetivo era reflexionar sobre las dependencias personales, colectivas y educativas del momento histórico actual a través de la práctica de la comunidad de investigación filosófica, que ofrece un tiempo y un espacio paradigmáticos para compartir, escuchar, cuestionar y adquirir perspectiva. El taller de la conferencia ofreció a un grupo internacional de investigadores y hacedores de diversos contextos sociopolíticos la oportunidad de deliberar sobre cómo la pandemia ha afectado tanto a su comunidad local como a la mundial. Considerando los nuevos retos educativos y filosóficos planteados por la pandemia, el grupo expresó una urgente necesidad de deconstruir los límites establecidos y volver a "los orígenes". Invocando metáforas tomadas del mundo natural (Roversi et al, 2022), una indagación sobre la naturaleza y el alcance de nuestras dependencias fundamentales nos recuerda que formamos parte de una ecología sociocultural que se enraiza y nutre en nuestra relación con otros. Una comunidad que entiende sus dependencias como dones que nos llaman a diseñar un futuro mejor podría, de hecho, representar el presagio de un mañana mejor.Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro2023-07-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/childhood/article/view/7158110.12957/childphilo.2023.71581childhood & philosophy; Vol. 19 (2023); 01 - 28childhood & philosophy; v. 19 (2023); 01 - 28childhood & philosophy; Vol. 19 (2023); 01 - 281984-5987reponame:Childhood & Philosophy (Rio de Janeiro.
