Abstract

The article proposes - through the project "Care for oneself and others" - a reflection on the meaning of experiencing "care" through art. 41 students of an art high school were able to focus, through the use of Mail Art, on the importance of care (of oneself, of the other and of the other as an unknown recipient of artistic works). Staying in these dimensions allowed participants and teachers to feel like an educational "community" that collaborates for a "common good".
