Schools Area – The primary objective of the “LongWays Lab” is to establish the website as a central hub connecting the world of education (by enhancing its pedagogical and experiential aspects) with the primary sources of authentic “European Culture”—such as museums, the network’s historical archives, and sites or assets that preserve or represent the historical and artistic heritage of the Longobard people. A further aim is to encourage young people to express their imagination and artistic creativity by crafting stories, creating mini-photography campaigns, or producing various graphic works inspired by key chapters of European history—chapters that, until recently, had been “forgotten” or overlooked. Finally, the foundations laid for relationships with schools and young people offer valuable opportunities to organize gatherings and establish project-based partnerships.
Here, then, are some suggestions that may also prove useful to all the tourists visiting this website:
🔮 Imagine forging your own path along Europe’s great rivers, crossing mountain passes and ancient forests, exploring castles, archaeological sites, and hidden treasures in the continent's finest Museums or rediscovering precious historical documents in the Archives that house the sources of ancient knowledge. Now, stop imagining: you are the designer of this journey.
