Rome, also known as the Eternal City, is a treasure chest of majestic monuments, hundreds of churches, and spectacular fountains that shape its stunning skyline, making it the city with the highest concentration of historical, archaeological, artistic and architectural heritage in the world.
The course will accompany the participants to discover the astonishing cultural heritage in the city, which will be taken as an example to explain the principles of Cultural Heritage Education (CHE).
This approach promoted by the Council of Europe aims to incorporate heritage education more effectively in school curricula in order to raise awareness of common history and values among the younger generations and strengthen the sense of belonging to a shared European cultural and political space.
Because of the immersive first-hand approach of this course, students will strengthen their visual and critical thinking skills, delving into a broader range of knowledge about the protection and valorization of cultural heritage to seek a European identity that ties itself to common and tangible roots.
The course provides a guided tour in the city center that emphasizes the stunning monuments such as the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and the grandiose archaeological area of Fori Imperiali.
The course program offers entrance to various museums and/or the most beautiful churches which may vary depending on the exhibitions open and the museums’ offerings.

Reviews about this course
James Mac Eoinfrom Ireland5 stars
The freedom to explore the history and culture of Rome and the vast and diverse different aspects that we discovered that we would have never found ourselves. I enjoyed Angelica and her enthusiasm, her warmth and her vast knowledge that she so easily shared with us.

Field trips with Fere were great. Also discussing and sharing information about our national heritage was also motivating and interesting.
