Ca'Foscari University and ArchaeoSchool project won European Label 2018!
According to INDIRE website:
"Sul fronte del multilinguismo, spicca l’idea di Ca’ Foscari di dar vita ad una “archeoschool” per studenti liceali e universitari (oltre 600 in totale, dai 15 ai 45 anni!), finalizzata a stimolare la comprensione delle lingue neolatine e neogreche a partire dalle competenze in lingue classiche, scegliendo il teatro antico come luogo ideale per approfondire il rapporto tra le lingue e i beni culturali –archeologici."
Translation to English: On the front of multilingualism, Ca 'Foscari's idea is to give life to an "archeoschool" for high school and university students (over 600 in total, from 15 to 45 years!), Aimed at stimulating the understanding of Neolatine and Neo-Greek languages starting from the skills in classical languages, choosing ancient theater as an ideal place to deepen the relationship between languages and cultural-archaelogical heritage. Even Unistrasi has committed itself to this front, with a project for multi-lingual teaching in primary school.

O5-Virtual reconstructions in EdMondo
VIDEOS: Look how we 3D-produced
- the main Theatre in ancient Messene and
- Amphitheatre of TarragonaScreen shots from theaters of Verona, Tarraco and ancient Messene
3D digital reconstructions of the 3 main buildings in the archaeological sited that will be investigated by all schools.
KPEK will be responsible for the output in cooperation with a representative of INDIRE (non-partner but provides EdMondo digital environment to this partnership) as the technical advisor and expert in EdMondo. Schools and EFAMES will make all steps needed to reconstruct the buildings and EFAMES, UNIV Ca'Foscari, CDL will have the scientific support of the final products. Also, 2 other schools (teachers and students) from Italy that have great expertise in EdMondo, will provide help and guidance via EdMondo to partners.

O6-Knowledge Forum community
Data Analysis (gathered from pupils collaborative research) (presentation and respective text)
Schools project teams will study and work on local archaeological sites (ancient Messene, Verona theater, Tarraco and Empúries) in three stages: initial, deeper and profound research. They will study the past and present through a reading and active participation of the archaeological heritage documented in their city and in the area surrounding them. This activity of study and research will be accompanied by language training in modern and ancient Greek, Italian and Latin, Spanish / Catalan. The teaching methodology will be based in Knowledge Building theory and on ESD and partners will collaborate in the research by exchanging answers and resources via the Knowledge Forum platform (KF).
In each stage, concrete questions will be drawn regarding the archaeological sites and schools project team will investigate for answers. These questions will be the same for every school partner and will be published to the KF for open discussion (between pupils, teachers and rest partners). The data collection in KF will form the final output.
O7-Career guidance and entrepreneurship related to archaeological sites
See the output outline: http://archaeoschool.eu/3rd-year-activities/entrepreneurship/
This guide isseparated in two sections: Career guidance and entrepreneurship.

These information were collected by the students according to their needs, either by interviews either by bibliographic research.
The second section includes concrete steps for a start -up business process in each country. Schools project teams chose and created virtual enterprises and they followed the proposed business plan. the results of students' work are presented in the book, too.
