On Routes Wings

February 2024

Have you ever wondered what makes Europe's cultural heritage so interconnected and vibrant? The Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe programme aim to reveal Europe's shared history, values and diversity, promoting dialogue, cooperation and sustainable tourism through thematic itineraries that cross national borders. In this video we take you on a journey to discover the purpose and significance of the unique routes. From celebrating our rich cultural heritage to promoting cooperation between nations, the Cultural Routes are a bridge between the past and the future. The video was commissioned by the Phoenicians Route, lead partner of the Next Routes project, produced in the month of November and filmed and edited by video maker Gabriele Perni. Take a look at the video and find out more about the ATRIUM Cultural Route as well as about other European routes.

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.
