The didactic tour

Teachers have a choice of suggested itineraries to plan a formative didactic tour, and they will be accompanied by an activity leader who will be guiding the group throughout the duration of the Art Safari®.

The Art Safari ® playing books, designed in collaboration with University Art teachers, offer an innovative and involving communicative approach whose objective is to rediscover the richest artistically heritage in our country, to raise the young’s awareness of the need to love and preserve the artistic treasures around us.

Every tour is built around twelve photographic hints which are necessary to find twelve different monuments, whose historical description is contained in the books that will be provided.

The duration of each tour is about two and a half hours. But there is even more that the Art’s Safari® will offer! Once back in the classroom, it will be possible to carry out a multiple choice test based on the pupils’ memory and readiness in answering.
