AIMS
The classes, that
have been involved into the educational
itinerary of Ecomuseum visited the territory
in order to do a partecipated examination of
the places. Afterwards, the classes edited
their map of the territory that they had
visited or of the whole community.
These maps have been very useful for
the working group and the editing of the map
is a starting point on which they could work
in order to realize the Parish Map.
The aim of these educational activities can be summarized in four main points:
- Knowing
our landscape.
Detecting the elements of which it is
composed of, understanding the differences
between landscapes and noticing the
transformationes. Understanding the
landscape in which you live means
understand better yourself.
"It would be useful
and important that the study of the
landscape would enter in the schools, so
that it would become, not only the object of
learning, but also the base of an education
to see, that could help to
understand the meaning of the human beings
on the Earth" [Turri, 1974]
- Learning
to see as element to learn how to act
in a proper way. "Education
contributes to the recognition of the
man's action effects over the environment
and the concerning hiring of
responsability. You can pay attention to
the prevail perspective of knowledge and
the one of action" [Benedetta Castiglioni,
2006].
- Respecting and preserve the
landscape. So as animal and vegetable
spacies in danger of extinction are stored
and protected, in the same way also the
landscape have to be respected and
protected, because it risks the
"extinction".
- Transmitting
the landscape
to the future generations. According
to
the logic of the sustainable
developement, that is on the basis of
the process of Agenda 21, also the
landscape have to be protected without
compromising the quality, and it have to
be transmitted to the future
generations.
