01
The context
A problem with a face
Pilot model · Amalfi Coast UNESCO
"72,000 young people aged 18–24 are early school leavers in Campania."

Campania has the sad national record for early school leaving. INSEG grows from one conviction: the problem is not a lack of technology, but a lack of roots.

The UNESCO-listed Amalfi Coast is the territory chosen for the pilot model — an authentic laboratory for a framework designed to be replicated wherever there is a cultural heritage worth valuing.

02
The Framework
A complete pedagogical system

INSEG is not a course. It is a structured framework that brings three bodies of theory together in a single operational architecture — adaptable to any territorial context.

AI Literacy
4 dimensions · Maria Ranieri

Cognitive, operational, critical and ethical — set within the heritage of the pilot territory.

Computational Thinking
Algorithms and territory

Decomposition, abstraction and pattern recognition as tools for exploring local heritage.

Territorial Identity
The territory as content

Any territory with recognised cultural heritage can become the framework's authentic laboratory.

The founder
Who built INSEG
Maria Rita Matarazzo
Maria Rita de Cassia de Assis Matarazzo
Pedagogist and teacher trainer · Creator of the INSEG Framework

I built my career in the Municipal School Network of Rio de Janeiro — the second-largest education network in Latin America, with 1,557 schools, 60,000 teachers and 650,000 students. From this experience comes a framework designed to bring international systemic rigour into the Italian school context.

Tailored Framework

Your territory deserves
a pathway of its own

Every municipality, every school, every region has a unique cultural and territorial heritage. INSEG is designed to be adapted — built around the identity of your context, not replicated generically.

Frequently asked questions from institutions

INSEG is in a pre-pilot strategic partnership phase, with launch planned for the 2026/2027 school year. The methodological structure is complete and ready for institutional adoption.

The theoretical structure is defined and documented; longitudinal empirical validation will be built through the two-year pilot.

INSEG is designed for progressive integration, without replacing existing curricula. Technical documentation is available on request.

Yes — the Amalfi Coast is the territory of the pilot model. The framework is designed to be replicated in any region with recognised cultural and territorial heritage, on request and with local adaptation.
