The students began their activities with a visit to the Silkworm Museum in Vittorio Veneto, which provided them with preliminary information for their research. Working in small groups, the students conducted field research in their surrounding area, gathering information and interviewing people involved in the silk-related culture. Historically, the territories within the municipality of Vittorio Veneto and the neighbouring towns have been important for the Italian sericulture sector, and there are still industries related to silk production and processing.
The DemoMap below is the product presented in the Italian language, serving as an example of the expected outcomes from the ongoing workshops in the current academic year with schools in Greece, Italy, and Slovenia. By clicking on the geolocated points, you can open the corresponding map with the description and multimedia materials created by the students.
The map will soon be available in English language and will become part of the European Silk Route Map, which is made up of the work of all the schools currently involved in the educational activities of the Aracne project.
