Educare in museo. Laboratori e didattica tra caverne e cinema.

A successful way of drawing public attention to the fascinating world of Palaeolithic representational heritage has been achieved by organising well-designed educational activities, suggesting connections between the ancient artwork and modern cinematography. While on the one hand we must unfortunately accept that the experiences and thoughts of humans who lived 40 to 15 thousand years ago are lost forever, we can however grasp some fundamental features that are still part of human nature, such as the pleasure of representing one’s own world and the desire to transform an inanimate object or drawing into a living, moving thing. To achieve this goal, purposely created educational workshops have been built along with special events, follow-up meetings and a cycle of training for teachers and professionals.
