The challenge of Training at the time of Covid-19 The fashion world found itself facing closures due to the outbreak of the epidemic, not only in terms of production, but also in terms of training. Antonella Vitiello, General Director of the ITS MITA Foundation tells us about the institute’s experience. How were the courses redesigned? «Our students continued their lessons simultaneously on a digital platform. The teachers, professionals in the sector, transformedthe in-personactivities intovirtual classrooms, enhancing the contents with slides, materials, models, and equipment in real virtual. The hands-on laboratory part was penalized the most heavily, but we managed to create webinars for manual activities as well». Is it possible to train without classroom-taught lessons? «Yes, but it cannot be limited to a mere narration of content, it must be proactive, contain immediate keys to interpretation, and not fall into tedium. The relationships that are created between the teacher and student are unique, but surely different relationships can be established in the form of distance learning. In the latter, the threshold of attention is often higher and the involvement better: during their lessons, the teachers were inundated by questions about what they were showing». How will the 2020/21 lessons be set up? «With classroom-taught lessons, but also in real virtual. While labs cannot be replaced because of direct contact with machinery and raw materials, distance learning allows us to reach anyone anywhere, making it an extensive school. The activities will resume, government decrees permitting, with the imposed precautions. Small groups, large spaces, distance learning. We will also offer something new: a course on fashion marketing in Lucca». 273 MITA ACADEMY
