About the innovation

What is Segni Mossi?

Creative arts are an important outlet for people of all ages, but many mayfear thatthey are not good enough to dance or make art.

Segni Mossi aimsto find interesting ways to bring the arts into education.They worktoengage all kinds of learners, encourage freedom of expression without anxietyand teach valuable skills such as creativity and curiosity.

Created in Italy by Alessandro (an illustrator)and Simona (a dancer),Segni Mossi offers workshops andtraining courses that blend movement with graphic art.The key focus is on workshops in public primary schools, in conjunction with Mus-e, an organization that works to promote social inclusion through arts in Rome. Segni Mossi supports several schools through weekly movement and art workshops.

The intention of the workshops is to explore the common ground between dance and drawing. Learners of all ages are able to experience how these two languages can blend together, using a sensory approach in a non-competitive setting. The workshops focus on creating an environment that stimulates collaboration and innovation, supportingparticipants to overcome fears that block creativity.

Segni Mossi also runs training courses for teachers and adults all over the world, to pass on their approach to artistic education. These courses explore practical proposals for educators to implement in schools. When educators take these ideas back to learners, the focus is on working with young people to research and create art rather than teaching them.

Feedback from teachers is that this style of creative education has allowed them to see their students in a different light,especially those who may have more difficulties in the classroom.Many students seem to really enjoy learning in this way and are able to express themselves much more freely through dance and drawing.

Our current impact:


  • 500 children in our annual public primary school workshops in Rome

  • 600 families in our one-off workshops all over the world

  • 2000 children and adults in our interactive performances in public spaces all over the world

  • 6000 adults in our 2 days training courses all over the world

HundrED Academy Reviews

I love that Segni Mossi runs training courses for teachers and adults all over the world and provides weekly movement and art workshops locally. That is incredibly scalable which increases its ability to be impactful worldwide.

Huge fan of focusing on the creative process first, leaving room for the product to occur as a by product. This programme is unique, and truly creative.
