Etruscan religiosity (EN-CUR-692)

The project aims to activate innovative ways of involving students in the study of history and literature through the help of digital technologies. With this project, students will be invited to discover the significant traces of the immense religious and cultural cosmos of the Etruscans through the exploration of resources related to ancient settlements and find in the form of resources on the Europeana portal. To this end, a survey will be carried out on the Europeana portal for the identification of resources useful for research. Starting from this observation and the reconstruction of some three-dimensional physical models of the objects and an Etruscan temple model, they will create a virtual museum with a 3D path through the help of some web apps and software.

This learning scenario has been developed during the “Digital Education with Cultural Heritage Rerun” online course. The course aimed to improve teachers’ understanding of cultural heritage in order to efficiently integrate it into their lessons and practices. The courses can be accessed here.
