A.L.I.C.E. is the acronym for Apprendimento Libero a Induzione Creativa Estesa (Free Learning with Extended Creative Induction): the induction of creativity is what allows you to learn faster than any other system, and having fun.
Lewis Carrol’s masterpiece is an extraordinary example of an alternative learning method, enjoying the freedom of thought and creativity of mental processes.
“Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, ‘and what is the use of a book,’ thought Alice ‘without pictures or conversations?’”
And from there, from the tiredness for a boring book that does not entice you to learn anything, that Alice begins her journey behind the rabbit in Wonderland, a path from which she learns really fundamental notions: moving in a different world and at times incomprehensible, untangling between unforeseen events and possibilities, making choices.
For generations Alice’s story has been teaching us, and has taught us how to teach.
