Internship as a collective learning journey: a Change Lab involving students,faculties, professionals.

Activity Theory and its applications make possible to observe the link between transformative learning, social dimensions and collective agency, offering a model that allows for the analysis of collective actions and their dynamic evolution. Human activity contexts are thus considered potential spaces for "expansive learning." Expansive learning occurs when people involved in a collective activity reconceptualize the object and motive of the activity itself, moving toward a renewal of existing practices. Basing on transformative learning theory and activity theory, the paper explores the undergraduate internship in Education as an activity system and focuses on the multi-method research carried on within a ChangeLab carried aimed to design a new model of internship accompaniment involving students, faculties and professionals. The system and its evolution are analyzed with a specific focus on the material and symbolic positioning of students, in order to understand both the individual trajectories of learning and participation, and the institutional conditions that position them in the internship, defining a space for their voices and perspectives on the experience.
