ABC: Archaeology in Bedriacum-Calvatone. An educational project

Abstract

In 2011, with the launch of the project called “ABC. Archaeology in Bedriacum-Calvatone”, promoted by the Municipality of Calvatone (CR) and by Prof. Maria Teresa Grassi, the educational activity of the University of Milan at the archaeological excavation of Calvatone began. The project’s goal is the communication of research and excavation activities in the Roman settlement of Bedriacum. Communication activities target a wide audience, including schoolchildren and youth in order to raise awareness on the local cultural heritage. During the first nine years (before the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020), by using different communication tools, the educational activities have involved almost two thousand and five hundred children and teenagers.
