MARCH REPORT
FOLLOWING THE ROMANS STEPS
Waiting for the next meeting in Austria based on the historical issues, during this month we have organized natural-historical excursion. In this activity are involved the high schools of our town. It was organized in collaboration with another association “AST Tuoro Musei”. Tuoro is the town of the Hannibal Battle, during the II Punic war, occurred along the shores of Trasimeno Lake.
What we do is called “Cultural Interpretation” and as you can see on the photos we have integrated, during naturalistic path, an historical “moment”. This “moment” is focalized on Ancient Roman life style and on strategy of war. The learners, retracing the same route made by the Roman soldiers with a lesson focused on the nature and what the nature means during the ancient years, “are catapulted back in time”.
After this “activities” learners take part on a history lessons, located in the same place where Hannibal controlled the battle.
