School of Economics and Business Studies (Via Silvio D’Amico, 77) – Room 14
 
Description: In the seminar we will explore how to make the emotion of anger our best ally. We will learn how to listen to it, respect it, and manage it with awareness rather than being guided by it unconsciously. We will discover three ways to relate to this intense and fascinating emotion.

Description: Failure, though a natural part of learning and growth, is often experienced as a threat to self‑esteem and personal worth.

“The Alchemy of the Emotion of Learning: How Our Emotions Impact Learning” (workshop) by Federica Lino
Monday, 20 October 2025, 01:00P.M. – 06:00 P.M.
Department of Humanities (Via Ostiense, 236) – Room 22
 
Description: Learning is not just a cognitive act, it is a deep emotional process involving the body, mind, and relational environment. Neuroscience today shows us how emotion is the prime mover of changing, the key to transforming thought and activating deep learning. This seminar explores the mechanisms of neuroplasticity and the role of emotions in building knowledge, learning, and motivation. Can emotions become tools to empower our learning?

Wednesday, 29 October 2025, 10:30 – 12:30
School of Economics and Business Studies (Via Silvio D’Amico, 77) – Room 21
 
Description: This seminar is dedicated to exploring two fundamental emotions: love and fear. Attention will focus particularly on their interconnection as a key to rediscovering a more conscious and mature understanding of these feelings. Finally, we will give space to a new perspective on vulnerability—regarded not as weakness, but as an authentic form of strength.
