The NOP “Animated paths” involved 5 different schools of the territory who worked in cooperation for 4 years; the Higher education institute “Nicola Pellati” in Nizza Monferrato, the IC in Canelli the I.C. in Nizza Monferrato, the I.C. Quattro Valli ( Incisa S.) and Liceo “Parodi” in Acqui Terme; moreover, the Cpia in Asti and the Istituto Nostra Signora delle Grazie in Nizza Monferrato also cooperated. Local tourist guides and IT/arts experts also worked on the project.
Promoting education to cultural, artistic and landscape heritage
Knowing and spreading knowledge on the Unesco site “Vineyard Landscape”
Learning about the history, nature, sound, iconography and literature on the Unesco site
Creating artworks and multimedia (interactive map) that could be useful for all types of users: families with children, cyclists, people with disabilities.
It was the first NOP project involving 5 schools from different levels which cooperated to create complementary and harmonized products. Innovative teaching methods were used, mainly centered around workshops. Local tourist guides and other experts in IT worked with the students at school, both for training and to create the end products. The territory was at the heart of the action, around which nature and culture were examined.
The territory actively cooperates to school projects and shares their objectives, becoming aware of the possibilities for interaction with the school to promote and strengthen values of active citizenship.
Students “see” the history, nature, literature and art of their territory with an innovative outlook which is more respondent to their own point of view; they learn how to respect the environment and become aware of how history can be a resource to use innovative instruments.
