Activities

  • Workshops for school students. Each class will participate in one-day workshop on the Monte Sole Massacre site, plus three to four follow-up meetings at school to deepen examples from the past and elaborate their influence for the present.
  • Workshops for adults. Workshops on the Monte Sole site offered during spring / summer weekends, including a “resistance walk” on Massacre Memorial Path and the production of content about the influence of past experiences in present days.

The participants will learn about the so-called “silenced resistance”.

MONTE experts will lead an introductory seminar for teachers, to help them elaborate a line of research for their students. A selection of the best research works produced within the classes will be published in the Online Exhibition.

The answers and the relating materials will be used for the creation of a physical exhibition.
