The main objective of the project was to show children how an approach of understanding and inclusion is absolutely necessary to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. From this perspective, it was fundamental to explain to the children that conflicts between peoples are often "induced" by people who, to pursue their own ends, spread false information and fake news. we have shown that only the careful analysis of a message we receive or read can allow us to distinguish the truth from the plausible. It was therefore essential to visit large archives that preserve historical documents that allow us to study the facts as they really happened. Another objective was to give children a unique digital experience like that of Heritage Lab. The other lessons on digital transformation had the task of making the experience a skill to be acquired.
The project was aimed at involving the boys and girls of the two schools in the analysis of the cultural diversity existing in the two countries, aimed however at enhancing the enrichment factor that derives from it. We started from a historical episode, the Salerno landing in 1943, which had consequences in Italy and Greece to demonstrate the concatenation that events can have in places very distant from each other. In particular, two nations overlooking the Mediterranean Sea experienced the war in alternating phases on opposite fronts but with similar consequences on populations and also on soldiers. This event, inserted in the broader perimeter of the Second World War, gave us the opportunity to talk about the need for mutual understanding and sharing of ideals of peace, respect and inclusion, those same founding values of the European Union which drew precisely from the experience Of the war. The title of the project, Seas of Peace, thus summarizes the approach of our training action
