Project Description
The objective of the HADRIAN project is to develop and pilot a ‘teach-the-teacher’ toolkit in order to enable the teachers at secondary schools to convey values and knowledge with their students about cultural heritage, environment and urban development.
The project stresses the importance of the historical aqueducts, namely, the Hadrian aqueduct (Athens), the Qanaat (Palermo) and the inner-waterways at Delfshaven neighborhoods (Rotterdam). Specifically, the project focuses on the topic of cultural heritage and the related added-values, from artistic value to social utility.
In this context, the project will provide teachers with specific tools in order to promote social values through the topic of the historical aqueducts.
The main outcome of HADRIAN will be to re-conceptualize the idea of Heritage Awareness (including tcultural and environmental aspects) as a driving force to motivate students towards cooperation, community-building and social engagement. In this way, the project will support sustainable, integrated, people-based urban development.
