Objective

"A Museum in the City" is a training project aimed at secondary school students, an experience of active citizenship that wants to make young people aware that even the industrial heritage can represent an opportunity for tourism, when we talk about products of value, elegance and power such as Alfa Romeo cars, which boast a large number of admirers all over the world. So not only the landscape, monuments and food, but also the products of the refined Italian manufacturing can represent a basin to draw on to offer interesting and original tourist packages. The museum, acting as a location for the realization of various types of events in which students will perform tasks related to the reception of visitors, is proposed as a place open to the logic of the market and no longer closed to a small number of users.

Students will be involved in a didactic path of study inside and outside the classroom, visiting the museum and participating in the many initiatives and events that take place there, with the following objectives:

  • to stimulate the assumption and sense of responsibility of young students towards Italian manufacturing production;
  • to foster a sense of belonging to the city community and an appreciation for recent history, manufacturing production and links with its territory;
  • to promote knowledge of the professions related to the protection, conservation and promotion of this heritage;
  • stimulate the acquisition of specific competences in the cultural and communicative field, offering a dynamic and involving opportunity to verify the skills acquired in the field.

Comment of the Museum Communication Manager

The class was immediately united and collaborative, capable of bringing out the different personalities of each student.

The pupils were able to move independently, showing great willingness to learn and participated with great curiosity in the events, processing the information and suggestions given to them in a responsible way.

Interesting the organization of the guided tour, where they had to deal not only with personal preparation and group synergy, but also with the experience of public speaking using the microphone, a detail absolutely not secondary for emotional management.

The calendar required research and graphic elaboration work that the students managed autonomously, supported by the professors and the tutor, demonstrating a good growth factor during the time elapsed between the design and printing phases.

Overall, the work carried out is to be considered absolutely satisfactory.
