Critical History Tour

6 February 2025

An interesting new project that strengthens ATRIUM's expertise in narrating the dissoant heritage of the 20th century European dictatorial regimes. In an era of political polarisation and ideological conflicts, historical sites have become battlegrounds of memory and identity. Tour guides and educators often face the challenge of interpreting these spaces in a way that recognises multiple perspectives and promotes understanding.

The Critical History Tours project is an initiative to create and promote guided tours that address contested histories across Europe. By combining public history, heritage and tourism, we seek to provide the tools and training needed to address this difficult dialogue and engage historical tensions in a meaningful way.

Didactic notebook from and for Merano's pupils

26 January 2025 (Merano, Italy)

As part of the activities of the ATRIUM Cultural Route, the Association ‘La Fabbrica del Tempo’ involved pupils from two secondary schools to create a didactic notebook with the aim to design a walk through the streets of Merano gaining a good understanding of the propaganda and civil architecture that was built in the city between 1920 and 1945. The teachers Gisella Mareso and Rosanna Pruccoli togehter with two fourth grade classes of the Italian and German language high schools GANDHI and GYMME worked on the didactic notebook, which then allowed many other classes (from third to fifth grade) to enjoy the walk and discover about architecture and propaganda.

Predappio is part of the CoCoWar project

15 January 2025

Predappio, member of the ATRIUM Cultural Route, is one of the selected case studies within the “CoCoWar – Analyzing Global Dissonant Heritage” project. The project analyses three significant sites: Mostar, Shushi and Predappio, that were chosen for their unique histories and the complex backgrounds that shape their narratives. The aim is to uncover the layers of dissonance, to explore how past conflicts and evolving perceptions have influenced their identities. This allows us to understand the effects these tensions have on their preservation, meaning and future.
