ACTIVITIES REPORT
Partners' Institution:USR Toscana
Project's period (from/to):20 April 2019 - 31 August 2019
Activity concerned:IO2 - Didactical Map of Religious Sites
Objectives of activities carried out:The project general aim is to foster the role of school education for the enhancement of social inclusion, through a peer to peer transnational knowledge sharing experience for a mutual understanding of religious habits and beliefs and through a critical analysis of the role played by the main monotheistic religions in history of mankind.
The aim of this Intellectual Output is to produce an Interactive web based Didactical mapping of Religious sites as places (e.g. pilgrims’ routes, ghettos, hostel for pilgrims etc.), sites of worship (churches, synagogues, mosques) and/or artistic masterpieces (e.g. paintings, statues etc.) that are significant from a religious point of view. The places/sites of worship/masterpieces should represent the history of religions and the roles they have played in the context of their local area, from a multidisciplinary point of view: historical, cultural, sociological, economical etc. The contents should take the form of teaching materials to be used by teachers with their students.
Another aim of this Intellectual Output is to monitor, through specific questionnaires, the usability of the map in class activities.
